City Council To Review Proposal For Mister Car Wash On Roosevelt Road
The car wash's special use permit was initially denied by city council, but now meets the Roosevelt Road landscape requirements.
WHEATON, IL — Wheaton City Council will review a special use permit request to open a Mister Car Wash location at the former site of a McDonald's at 2175 W. Roosevelt Rd.
The proposal was first recommended by the city's planning and zoning board in October 2025. City council members initially denied the permit request in May 2026, as they deemed the design did not meet the established Roosevelt Road landscape.
A new site plan dated April 22 complies with the landscape requirements, according to city documents.

If approved, the Mister Car Wash location will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Developers would raze the vacant McDonald's building to accommodate construction.
