On Monday morning, March 9, 2020, workers were removing tables, booths, seating, counters and garbage containers from the standalone restaurant at the northeast corner of the plaza. These were initially placed along the entrance ramp on the building's west side and then appeared to be moved into a large dumpster dropped across the building-hugging parking spaces.
The restaurant's entire parking lot was blocked off at its north and south ends. Contractor vehicles were parked within.
The restaurant was serving drive-thru customers only. The short-term waiting spaces for drive-thru customers had been moved from the outside of the drive to the inside, closer to the restaurant. Unable to pass through the parking lot into the shopping center area, patrons could only leave the drive-thru using the one-way exit onto Court Street.
The Middlebury restaurant is the closest McDonald's to Whiting. A McDonald's had been located within the JiffyMart building on Grove Street (US-7) in Brandon, but it was closed when that building was renovated. The JiffyMart now provides Subway sandwiches and Ramunto's pizza.
