Plans Progress for New Romeoville McDonald's

Submitted by the Village of Romeoville

McDonald’s submitted final development plans Wednesday for the development of a new McDonald’s restaurant at the northeast corner of IL Route 53 and Greenwood Avenue.

The proposed restaurant consists of 4,471 square feet and includes a drive-through facility that includes dual-position drive-through lanes for ordering. The 1.23-acre site is vacant and was formerly the site of a Bell Fuels gas station.

“It’s a prime location to draw business from out-of-town visitors as well as local residents,” said Mayor John Noak.

The proposed site is located along the historic Route 66 (Route 53) corridor and is adjacent to Uptown Square and the Romeoville Athletic Center. Ornamental parking lot lighting, enhanced landscaping, upgraded building architecture and attractive signage have been proposed to meet the village’s design requirements.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2015.
