Works begins on Crewe town centre car park McDonald's development
Work has started on a new Crewe town centre car park McDonald's development, previously approved for a Burger King drive-thru restaurant.
On Monday 9 October, Mark James Complete Building Services began digging up the former Market Shopping Centre Car Park, located on the corner of West Street and Vernon Way.
McDonald's completed a £1.4 million deal for the site back in April.
The fast-food giant acquired the land from Real Estate Investors (REI), with plans to open its third Crewe drive-thru restaurant in "late" 2023.
However, this development has hit a number of delays in recent months.
On Monday 18 September, Cheshire East Planning approved a discharge of conditions for the new fast-food site, relating to contaminated land.

McDonalds' Market Shopping Centre drive-thru will become its most central Crewe restaurant.
Currently, McDonald's has sites on Macon Way and Dunwoody Way, with its town centre walk-in only store closing back in 2018 after 34 years.
In April, asset manager at REI, Jack Sears, said: "We have completed the sale of land to McDonald's for £1.4m for them to develop as a drive-thru.
"This development will bring employment to the area and attract more shoppers and diners to the Market Shopping Centre, complementing the existing consumer offers at the centre."
McDonald's told Nub News it will reveal its new targeted opening date in the coming weeks.
