Some might be wondering what’s being built near the parking lot of the Carriage Crossing shopping center in Collierville.
Construction has started for a 4,300-square-foot McDonald’s
at 10215 E. Shelby Drive in Collierville. Site crews on bulldozers have begun clearing land for the restaurant in the Carriage Crossing Marketplace that features major retailers, including Ross Dress for Less, Old Navy and Petco.The new Collierville McDonald’s will sit on 1.7 acres and will include indoor and outdoor seating capacity for 78 total guests as well as 38 parking spaces, including dedicated delivery parking.
The fast food giant is estimated to have a staff
of 60 employees and open in mid-December.
The McDonald’s will mark local owner/operator Alex Pina’s — owner of Pina Elite Restaurant Group — ninth McDonald’s in the Memphis area. He also owns an existing location at 3675 S. Houston Levee Road in Collierville. The new restaurant will be Pina’s second in the Town and the first restaurant constructed from the ground up.
In total, this will be the third McDonald’s in Collierville. There is another Collierville McDonald's location at 852 W. Poplar Ave.
The Collierville Planning Commission in May unanimously gave a favorable recommendation for the preliminary site plan for the new McDonald’s, while the Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved a development contract during its March 23 meeting.
