The owner of McDonald’s in Summerville is closing the store after Sunday, August 28 and demolition of the building will get underway on Monday morning.  It came as a surprise to locals that the store would be closing Sunday. 

Earlier this month the store owners said that the restaurant would remain open until the end of the year and a new McDonalds would be built after the first of the year.  It is not clear what caused the speed-up of the demolition, but around 50 employees were notified in this weeks paycheck.  The new McDonalds is expected to be up and running in 90 days.
