Drivers zipping between the Florida Turnpike and I‑95 in Miami Gardens may soon have one more reason to pull off at 811 NW 183rd Street: McDonald’s is eyeing the busy commercial strip for a new restaurant, adding a familiar golden-arches pit stop to a corridor already lined with small retailers and service shops.
According to WhatNow, McDonald’s USA LLC has filed permit applications with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation to open a restaurant at the site. Reporter Laine Doss noted in a May 1, 2026 story that an opening date has not yet been announced.
State licensing records show McDonald’s operates in Florida through McDonald’s USA LLC and holds active food-service licenses, per the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Local listings for 811 NW 183rd Street identify retail tenants such as Cool J’s, suggesting the site currently functions as a small shopping strip that could be redeveloped for a restaurant; a storefront listing from Vans places Cool J’s at that address.
What McDonald’s Brings
McDonald’s is one of the world’s largest restaurant companies, operating in more than 40,000 locations across over 100 countries, according to company filings. McDonald’s Corporation also runs corporate offices and a flagship campus in Chicago, and local openings typically bring drive-thru service, temporary construction jobs, and new hiring for crew and management.
Timeline And Next Steps
There is no public timeline yet for construction or opening. Final approvals, building permits, and a formal company announcement will ultimately set the schedule. Hoodline will monitor permit filings and official statements and update readers as the plan moves forward.
