This is the McDonald's in Mt. Pleasant shortly after it opened. There was a Murphy's Mart in the plaza behind it (Countryside Plaza) which later became Ames, and is now a Peebles. The McDonald's is still there.

any idea when Macky D's opened at this site? i notice the paint, state and payless weren't built yet.

love seeing these old pictures of "way back when"! thanks for posting

It opened in the early '80s, maybe around 1983? I remember having to go to the New Stanton one prior to that when I was a child, because that was the closest one around.

Rite Aid is now where the Mobil station was.

Davis became County Market, County Market closed and is now a Busy Beaver

Yes! And Ollie's is now where Murphy's was. Do you also remember some of the other stores that were in that plaza, such as Thrift Drug, Dollar Bargain, D&K, and Barbara Joyce Restaurant?
