The much-anticipated opening of a new McDonald’s restaurant at Rutgers Plaza in Franklin Township has arrived, adding a modern and convenient dining option to the Easton Avenue shopping center and its neighborhood.
The highly visible, 4,500-square-foot establishment – featuring dual side-by-side drive-thrus – was developed on a principal pad site at the property.
Levin Management Corp. serves as leasing and managing agent for the 268,000-square-foot Somerset County retail property.
LMC’s Sidney Singer, vice president of leasing, arranged the McDonald’s lease on behalf of property ownership; Chuck Lanyard and Marc Palestina of The Goldstein Group represented the tenant. Levin’s in-house construction team secured approvals for the McDonald’s building.
“Quick-serve and fast-casual dining options are welcome additions to any shopping center, driving consistent traffic, elevating the shopping experience and encouraging customers to spend more time during their visit,” Singer said. “McDonald’s is a global leader in the fast-food segment and a high-quality enhancement for Rutgers Plaza. As a brand, McDonald’s is evolving; everything at this new location is state-of-the-art.”
McDonald’s relocated locally, from an older building to its new prototype restaurant at Rutgers Plaza. The location is open 24/7 and features a modern and comfortable dining area for up to 62 patrons, self-order kiosks with interactive touchscreens, and a dedicated mobile pickup area. An electric car charging station supports sustainable travel while customers enjoy their meals.
