The fast food restaurant at 235 Front St. in the Financial District could not bounce back from pandemic-related stresses, including vacant office spaces and dwindling convention traffic, according to the San Francisco Business Times. The last Big Mac and fries were served on Oct. 27.

“It has been a pleasure for my entire team and I to serve the downtown financial district since 1994,” reads a message from franchisee Scott Rodrick posted on the door of the McDonald’s. “We are thankful to have been a part of your daily meal routine, either for an Egg McMuffin in the morning or a Big Mac on your lunch break.”

This particular location, which was housed in the former Golden Gate Bank, was seen as a testing ground, or “laboratory,” for new menu options and modernization for the fast food brand, the San Francisco Business Times reported. The outpost had two levels of seating and was in the hub of San Francisco’s Financial District near the Embarcadero. San Francisco’s downtown recently ranked dead last in a UC Berkeley study of 62 business sectors in the U.S. and Canada bouncing back from the pandemic.

Rodrick, a franchisee of seven other McDonald’s restaurants including the Sutter Street site, according to the San Francisco Business Times, noted on the sign that all of the Front Street employees were able to find new jobs at other Bay Area McDonald’s locations.

It is unclear what will happen to the building moving forward. SFGATE reached out to Rodrick but did not hear back in time for publication.
