The McDonald's restaurant on Rideau Street is set to close when its lease runs out in April, after nearly 40 years of operations in the downtown Ottawa tourist area.
McDonald's has decided not to renew its lease for the Rideau Street location in Ottawa, and will close in April.
"We knew that they may not be there; it wasn't a big surprise," Peter Crosthwaite, asset manager at 60 George St., told CTV News Ottawa. The restaurant opened in 1985. In 2019, then-Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau sent a letter to the President and CEO of McDonald's Canada to raise concerns about "ongoing criminal activity and social disorder" at the Rideau Street location. McDonald's then reduced its hours of operation to 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. following a meeting with police. It had been open for 24 hours a day.
"The freedom rallies and we had COVID; all these things are upheavals that can’t make it easy for a steady, reliable operation."
