McDonald’s Will Add 2nd Drive-Thru
A new building will also replace the existing McDonald's on 159th Street just east of Central.
OAK FOREST, IL - The McDonald’s on 159th Street just east of Central will be replaced with a newer building that will include a second drive-thru lane.
The City Council voted to approve the company’s plan for its space at 5441 W. 159th St., according to a report from the Daily Southtown.
McDonald’s plan includes removing three parking spaces to make room for the second drive-thru. It will also make it easier for customers to enter the property via 159th Street rather than turning onto Debra Drive and entering a subdivision there.
