For the second time in the past year, a McDonald’s has been demolished in the Albany, N.Y., area to make way for a new, modern version of the Golden Arches.
The restaurant at the corner of Route 146 and Maxwell Drive in Clifton Park was reduced to a pile of rubble in the past week or so. In its place will rise a McDonald’s with some of the creature comforts the Oak Brook, Ill., company has been rolling out nationally as part of its “Forever Young” concept.
In Mechanicville, for instance, a new McDonald’s built last year at Routes 4 and 32 has a red brick exterior, a flat roof, Italian granite tiles in the dining room, two plasma TV screens and wireless Internet access. The new restaurant, which opened in December, cost franchisee Roger Grout and the company about $1.5 million.
