Oxford’s McDonald’s restaurant could be moving a little bit to the north and to the other side of the road.
At its Thursday, Feb. 26 meeting, the planning commission is slated to discuss the possibility of McDonald’s moving from its current location at 280 N. Washington St. to a 1.21-acre vacant site on the west side of M-24, just south of the former Odyssey Industries facility and just north of Market St.
‘We’re just speculating right now about the possibility of moving it,? said Iggy Pipitone, area construction manager for the Brighton-based McDonald’s USA, LLC. ‘We’re just checking the temperature of the water.?
Pipitone said the current restaurant is ‘old? and the company’s considering building a ‘newer-looking store? away from the downtown, so as to provide better traffic flow.
But nothing’s a done deal.
‘We might rebuild in the same location,? Pipitone said. ‘It’s still up in the air right now. We’re just weighing out our options.?
