Mixed feelings over closure of Nottingham McDonald's in 'horrible' part of the city

McDonald's fans popped in for one final burger and fries from the fast food restaurant in Nottingham's Exchange Walk ahead of it closing its doors for good on Friday, June 30. It was revealed in April that the restaurant would be shutting after 34 years on the corner of the cut-through between St Peter's Gate and Old Market Square.

The loss adds to the long list of closures around Lister Gate, Low Pavement, Albert Street, and Wheeler Gate since the demise of Broadmarsh shopping centre and the pandemic. High street chains such as Paperchase, Clarks shoe shop, Pret a Manger, Boots and River Island have all closed down.

Exchange Walk's McDonald's used to operate 24 hours a day but opening hours were scaled back earlier this year, closing overnight. Most customers didn't seem fussed by the closure and said they'd get their junk food fix from the other sites in the city centre, at either Victoria Centre, Clumber Street or Angel Row.
