Anyone who has driven past that intersection lately has noticed that the McDonald’s that had been there is gone. It will be replaced at the beginning of May by a new, state-of-the-art restaurant, says Karen Skinner, who owns that franchise and 10 others in and around this area.
It will feature the chain’s McCafe concept, which has been described as a Starbucks within a McDonald’s. "This is totally new — there is nothing else like it in the Metroplex," says Skinner, who also operates the McDonald’s at Greenville and Southwestern and at Ross and Henderson. The new store will also have TVs and a toddler play area.
"We’ve had a lot of trouble in that area, but it looks like it’s starting to clean up," says Skinner. "We really want to attract Lakewood folks when it re-opens."
