Last December 2018, a new McDonald’s was opened in the neighborhood of Back of the Yards. This store is number five of owner-operator Phil Fuentes, who proudly commented that this McDonald’s will positively portray the development of the community by creating new jobs. The restaurant is located at 2844 W 47St, near several schools and the new community center in Back of the Yards. What makes this store even more accessible for those people looking for a fast food option and good service. Phil Fuentes has always had as a priority to support the community of South Chicago, which prompted his decision to open the doors of this new restaurant. “One of the programs we have with McDonald’s is Archways to Opportunity, we supplement some tuition costs for students or parents who need the income,” said Fuentes. Phil also hopes that this new store will be a space where families can meet, share and enjoy their food.
