The shell of the building, located in the Rose development, looked largely completed over the weekend, with a sign out front bearing a McDonald’s logo and proclaiming, “Here we grow again.”
According to Plainfield Village Planner Michael Garrigan, the restaurant will open during the first quarter of 2014; a sign in front of the building puts the opening date sometime in January.

As approved by the village board last summer, the new McDonald’s is permitted to have a 24-hour drive-thru. However, according to the restaurant’s website, the drive-thru will be open from 5 a.m. to midnight, and lobby hours are 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Breakfast is served from 5 to 11 a.m.
The location will be the fourth Plainfield-area McDonald’s.
The north McDonald's location, 12501 S. Route 59 (north of 127th Street) has a 24-hour drive-thru, as does a nearby Joliet location at Route 59 and Caton Farm Road. The drive-thru at the other Plainfield McDonald's restaurant, located at Renwick Road and Route 59, closes at 11 p.m.
