A new look for the Fulton McDonald's - originally slated to take place at the end of 2011 - has been pushed back until this spring.
Jim Baumgartner, owner of 54 Foods Incorporated (which owns the Fulton franchise) said the remodel was delayed to help offset typical slow winter sales at 54 Foods McDonald's locations at Lake of the Ozarks.
"I did that delay because ... I needed the cash flow from the Fulton store to help them out," Baumgartner said. "As far as I know, (the reconstruction) is supposed to happen around the first of April."
