So, I'm at the Dentist this afternoon. Sitting in the waiting room, and the receptionists are having a conversation with another patient about McDonald's opening a restaurant in the ..."parking lot of this plaza...", the Metro grocery plaza at Thomspon and Louis St. Laurent.

I can't for the life of me see how and where a fast food outlet could be located in the parking lot without a dramatic reduction on the amount of parking spaces, not the mention the logistics of traffic, etc.

Can anyone confirm this ? Or is it to be located on one of the corners of Thompson and Louis that are either vacant, or recently sold....or, is it happening at all ? Anyone have a scoop ?

Pete

Isn't a Tim Horton's going up at that corner?

Hi NewinTown

Yes there is another MacDonald's restaurant coming but not at that location and there has been no application for any changes to the parking lot. There is a Tim Horton's opening at the north-west corner of Louis St. Laurent and Thompson later this fall.

More to come on new stores and other services opening IN Milton next month. Sorry but no Costco yet.

Hi Colin, if the McDonald's isn't opening up there then do you know where now?

Colin, you can't tease us and say another McDonalds IS coming, and not tell us where! :-)

Sorry rickp

I understand from a usually reliable source on where it is going, but need staff and other confirmations first so I don't mislead people. There are too many rumours going around town about projects that are not happening.

I find most businesses wait to announce their locations until everything is ready to go and they put their signs up.

If you want to find out what is happening in town regarding individual properties the Committee of Adjustment is usually where you see applications for new businesses surfacing. Check out the agenda for next Thursday's meeting which highlights some commercial and residential new construction areas.

I usually attend these meetings to find out what is going on and their impact on the neighbourhood.

One thing I love about Milton is, for the most part, all of the fast food places are located near the Highway. I like this because its far enough that there's less temptation to go there, and I hope it stays that way. I dont think we really need any new Mcdonalds or any other chain closer to the center of the city.

New highschool's= New McDonalds & New Tim Horton's.
McD's won't be far from the new Timmies is logical.

Edit: IN fact, I recall there is zoning for a new strip mall in the farm field directly beside the CK High School

I've seen that...and my motive for posting the question was in the hopes that there would NOT be a McDonald's there...I live across the street from the Metro, and was sincerely hoping it was a rumor, and nothing more. I'm not thrilled about Tim's, so be it...as for the Golden Arches..not a place I frequent. Just don't care for it.

No doubt. And daily trash pick up will be a full time job, I can see it now. Walking from the Starbucks to CK, eastbound, and the amount of litter is staggering. The trash bins are empty, but the small woods there are packed with crap. This will get worse.
I feel badly for the homes that face onto Louis in that area.

MC has better coffee for last few years compare to TH, where it is plunged down to fuzzy water level.
Having only one MC in the city which is 100K now is kind of strange. MC is kids friendly also.

I agree, the coffee is really good there now. And they have free wifi which makes it a good place to stop and do a few emails with a coffee when on the road between calls.
