Newly rebuilt McDonald's near Cleveland Mall holds grand opening

In the parking lot of the newly rebuilt McDonald's on East Dixon Boulevard, sunlight glinted off golden tubas as the sound of Shelby High School's marching band warmed up, its music mingling with the chatter of a small crowd Tuesday, Nov. 10. Roughly 125 days after the former McDonald's building was demolished, a brand-new restaurant has taken its place near the Cleveland Mall. In attendance at the ribbon cutting and grand opening were three county commissioners, the Shelby High marching band and chorus and the Crest High School Air Force Junior ROTC. The interior of the new restaurant features bright yellows and reds, representing ketchup and mustard, and there is a designated window for mobile orders and deliveries to free up the drive thru. Kiosks have been installed for ordering and people can also use their cell phones to make table orders and have it delivered to their table. Brad Kimrey, chief operating officer of Ice Age Management, which owns and operates the restaurant, said the process to begin tearing down the old building and rebuild started about two years ago, but the actual demolition and construction took just around four months. Kimrey said the previous building was around 45
