The fast-food restaurant held a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, Oct. 5.
The McMakeover is complete and the Woodbury McDonald’s will reopen at 5 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 7. Dozens of people—including local elected officials, Chamber of Commerce representatives and Ronald McDonald—were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon today (Oct. 5). Jim Duval, who owns the Woodbury fast-food establishment with his family, said the work took 102 days to complete. The building was razed and rebuilt using the company’s new design platform. The new-look McDonald’s now features two drive-thru lanes, which should ease congestion in the area during busy times. There are also televisions inside and a new décor. Mayor Mary Giuliani Stephens spoke at today’s event, saying the city has fielded plenty of calls from residents …

The local McDonald’s will close on Sunday, June 26, as the fast-food giant reconstructs the restaurant.
Call it a McRebuild. The Woodbury McDonald’s will close Sunday, June 26, as the company reconstructs the location over the next several months. There have been issues with traffic flow at the local McDonald’s, Dale Shimek, a construction manager with the fast-food giant, has previously told Patch. He said the company intends to raze the existing building and build a new prototype McDonald’s that features a brick façade with a better interior and architectural details. Once rebuilt, McDonald’s will have two drive-thru lanes. “At McDonald’s our mission is to become our customer’s favorite place and way to eat. We strive to infuse a ‘Forever Young’ spirit in all that we do,” Jim and Pat Duval, owners of the Woodbury McDonald’s, said in a …

The restaurant this spring will add a dual drive-through lane to prevent traffic from backing up onto Weir Drive.
Fast food faster. The Woodbury City Council on Wednesday approved several measures that clear the way for McDonald’s to reconstruct its Weir Drive location. McDonald’s plans to tear down and rebuild the site sometime this spring. Chief among the changes will be a dual drive-through lane, which will help ease congestion at the restaurant and prevent traffic from backing up onto Weir Drive during busy hours. About 70 percent of the business at McDonald’s, 1795 Weir Drive, comes through the drive-through, construction manager Dale Shimek said. The entire site will be reconstructed, said Melissa Douglas, senior planner with Woodbury. There will be less parking available but the lot will be reconfigured to make it more useful. Part of the plan …

Woodbury is close to bringing in consultants whose charge will be finding new ways to redevelop the site.
In a move that was all but approved last week, the Woodbury City Council (acting as the Economic Development Authority) on Wednesday agreed to hire consultants whose aim will be to help the city find new ways to redevelop the former State Farm building. While the building has sat vacant for several years, recent proposals from developers have spurred a renewed interest in getting the site reused. For stories on the latest developments for the State Farm building—which center on Wellington Management’s plans for the site—click here and here. While the contract has yet to be finalized, Woodbury will soon work with the Minneapolis-based law firm of Faegre and Benson on a four-pronged approach to “promoting the reinvestment of this property,” …

Company official says plans call for razing and rebuilding at the site; approval still needed from city.
Officials from McDonald's were at the Woodbury Planning Commission meeting Monday night with plans to raze and rebuild its location off Valley Creek Road. There have been issues with traffic flow at the Woodbury McDonald’s, said Dale Shimek, a construction manager with the fast food giant. He said the company intends to tear down the existing building and build a new McDonald’s at the site. Plans call for two drive-through lanes and the new prototype McDonald’s to go up: a brick building with a better interior and architectural details, he said. Shimek didn’t have any cost estimates or design drawings for the project. Depending on city approval, he said the work would start in spring and last about 100 days. He said the city asked McDonald…
