McDonald’s is closing its four-story former flagship on West 42nd Street in Times Square, The Post has learned.
Opened 17 years ago, the eatery — whose entryway is lit with 7,000 marquee light bulbs like a Broadway theater — was slated to serve its last Big Mac on Tuesday, company officials confirmed.
A spokesman for the Oak Brook, Ill.-based company called the restaurant’s closure “a difficult decision,” although he insisted it wasn’t related to the coronavirus pandemic, which has devastated tourist haunts like Times Square for months.
“McDonald’s reviews its restaurant portfolio on a regular basis to make the best decisions for our business moving forward,” a spokesman told The Post in a statement.
The fast-food chain used the 17,500-square-foot burger mecca to test new menu items and to tout its financial results to Wall Street analysts, according to its first operator, Irwin Kruger.
