McDonald's to Close for Several Months
The Fair Oaks Avenue fast food restaurant will upgrade its decades-old building, and in the process, scrap the children's play area.
If you have a hankering for a Big Mac over the next few months, you'll have to follow your appetite right out of the city, as the McDonald's at 716 Fair Oaks Ave. is closing to remodel.
A sleek, modern look will replace the restaurant's older, traditional design, according to a rendering from the architectural and engineering firm Ware Malcomb. But what won't be replaced is the restaurant's PlayPlace, the small, fenced-in play area in front of the restaurant, Shift Manager Matthew Scudieri said Tuesday.
A phone call to McDonald's corporate offices was not immediately returned Tuesday.
