23rd and Penn McDonalds

[Pete]

And as mentioned previously, the plan is to pull down the McDonald's on the NW corner of 23rd & Penn and replace it with a modern, 2-story design.

Capacity will increase from 3,216 sf to 5,687.

The photograph is an example of the design and materials, although that particular building is 3 levels instead of two:

Is this still happening?

Yeah, it seems like they're behind schedule.

Awesoooooome. From the article I read on the Newsok.com it seemed like this was one of the few McDonalds like this in the world. Is that true?

Maybe as a free-standing McDonalds, but I have been in many multi-level McDonalds in France, Germany and Italy.

Ditto.

I've also been to one in Beijing, where the first double-decker was.

BTW, the first McDonalds drive through window as here in OKC.

my thoughts exactly... it always makes me laugh when i see a line of cars at the drive thru, so i pull in, get my food to go, and i'm back on the road before i would have even made it to the order speaker...

This one in Houston has been there at least 20 years: 1405 Post Oak Blvd, Houston, TX 77056 - Google Maps

I've taken the JTF approach. I very rarely use drive thrus now. (except if the lobby is closed late at night) or I really am in a hurry.

[Spartan]

I don't pay for food out without enjoying the dining ambience I'm paying for. So that crosses most fast food off heh, but I'll confess some McD's and Chick Fila's are alright.

Maybe Oklahoma can have the first double-deck double drive-thru. Capacity for 4 cars to order at once.

Typical fast McD's construction job

Typical fast McD's construction job

but not as fast as the China company that says that it can build a skyscraper in 3 months... they could finish with this project in about 16 hours.

Yay! McDouble Double Double...Double Double?

Personally, I thought the "Retro" style McDonalds added a lot of class and character to the intersection. What they SHOULD have done is move the Retro building off to the side, built a first-story box on the foundation, then use blimps, balloons or whatever to set the Retro version back on top of it. (McDonalds coffee is pretty good. So is the Mushroom and Swiss Angus Snack Wrap. Just not at the same time. The Fish Sandwiches are scandalously overpriced . . . but I get one from time to time anyways.)

They started construction Dec. 31st, they are closed and have a "Reopening Spring 2013" banner out front. Work seems to be going full speed.

I find it ironic that there is talk of going local first in this thread yet in other threads there is so much talk of wanting to get a big national in here because posters liked their locations in other cities. Dick's sporting goods is one example.

I wonder if this McDonalds will have a shower?

Well that came down really fast. Not sure why I expected the demolition to take days...

[RadicalModerate]

Now wait and see how fast the new one goes up!
(but don't let that interfere with your enjoyment of a McRib the next time they roll around =)
