The façade renovation of one of Richmond’s most visible restaurants – yes, the Mcdonald’s at 23rd Street and Macdonald Avenue – is set to be completed tomorrow, the construction crew told the Standard this afternoon.

The renovation has modernized the building from all angles. It includes new LED signage and drive-thru amenities, landscaping and upgrades to Americans with Disabilities Act ADA access. The double-lane drive-thru helps in reducing traffic congestion.
Similar upgrades are happening at Mcdonald’s restaurants across the region as the restaurant standardizes a more modern appearance. Here’s a view from the Nevin Avenue side renovated Drive Thru entrance:
