The rebuilt restaurant, which will likely open in June, will be smaller to allow for a two-lane drive-thru and feature a new playscape with newer tubes and a video game station and a lighted area for design play, according to the Record-Journal.

The existing restaurant was built 40 years ago.

"The Zafiris family is grateful for your patronage throughout the years, and while we will miss you during the renovations, we look forward to continuing to serve you in the new restaurant for years to come," McDonald's of Wallingford posted on its Facebook page.
