Opelika residents with a craving for burgers and french fries will soon have a new way to satisfy their fast food desires with the arrival of a new McDonald’s in Opelika and the possibility of Bojangles’ franchises in Auburn, Opelika and Smiths Station.

Dolly Marshall plans to open a new McDonald’s franchise in TigerTown by the loading docks of Office Depot.

“We’ve been looking into this for sometime,” she said.

Groundbreaking on the fast-food restaurant will be next week. Marshall said she hopes to have her latest franchise open by the end of June. “Things are moving very quickly,” she said.

The TigerTown McDonald’s location will be Marshall’s seventh. She also owns restaurants in Auburn, Opelika and Tuskegee.

Marshall said she believes there is a good amount of traffic in TigerTown, which she hopes will bring in customers.

There was a good crowd on hand for this event. This groundbreaking had been scheduled earlier but due to weather had to be rescheduled after the building had already started. This new venture has several names on it and several hands in the pot. Purina and John Deere as well as SunSouth and Sikes all had a part in this project and getting the building and location.

Sean Foote of SR&F architects is responsible for the design and was also on hand for the groundbreaking.
