Covington is getting a McDonald’s restaurant later this year.
The new store will be located on the west side of Covington, and will open in late November or early December. The restaurant will feature a double-drive-thru and technology available for customers inside the lobby and dining areas.
The new McDonald’s will be owned and operated by Don and Deanna Witzel, owners of six Vermilion County McDonald’s restaurants.
Covington Mayor Brad Cain said in a statement that he is excited about the new opportunities that will come with the first McDonald’s in Covington, noting that about 60 people will work there.
Deanna Witzel said she is thrilled to join the Covington community, adding that they plan to organize a “McPack the Place Night” at a Covington High School basketball game.
