Shoppers in Nottingham city centre were left in complete shock after it was announced a popular city centre McDonald’s will soon close its doors. The chain on Exchange Walk will be closing after 34 years in June and shoppers ‘can’t believe it.’
The last time McDonald's closed a restaurant in Nottinghamshire was in Beeston. A burger joint opened in High Road in 1987 but closed within 20 years because it simply wasn't busy enough.
The Exchange Walk restaurant was often open until the early hours of the morning, serving those on night shifts or visiting after a night out in the city. On Friday, April 28, many shoppers weren’t aware of the shop closing down. Jean Baker, 68 from The Meadows is now retired.
