We’re getting an idea why the Stevensville McDonald’s suddenly closed for good over the weekend.
Moody on the Market first reported the location at 4661 Red Arrow Highway had closed Sunday. Now we’re told by someone in management that sales at the Stevensville McDonald’s had slumped 44% in the past year with the Michigan Department of Transportation reconstructing I-94 at Exit 23, right there next door.
Our source says McDonald’s corporate determined the business lost at the Stevensville location simply moved over to the Bridgman and St. Joseph locations. Plus, mismanagement at the Stevensville location for a couple of years had already been driving sales down. McDonald’s determined the Stevensville restaurant should be closed.
It’s not known what will be done with the property, which we’re told is owned by corporate.
The owners of the Stevensville McDonald’s also own the St. Joseph and Bridgman locations. They declined to speak with us.
