Golden Arches Go Up, But McDonald’s Opening Delayed

The property that once featured classic films on the big screen, will now offer Big Macs and Happy Meals. 

However, the opening of the new McDonald’s on Detroit Avenue — which was expected this week — has been postponed. 

Mike Lewis, the area real estate manager for McDonald’s, said the project has had some “slight delays.” 

While the doors were expected to open today, the asphalt still needs poured and the striping on it still needs to get done — along with some other loose ends.

“We’re trying to get it open as soon as we can,” Lewis said. “I know we’ll meet the original Oct. 15 deadline.”

The Sloane Avenue location closed its doors on Sept. 15, and the Nature’s Bin natural foods store is expanding into the space.

The Detroit Theatre was demolished earlier this year to make way for McDonald's.
