A brand-new McDonald's has opened at 4380 Indian Ripple Road in Beavercreek, rising on the site of a demolished Burger King and bringing a double-lane drive-thru to one of the area's busiest retail corridors. The 4,000-square-foot building is owned and operated by franchisee Jeremy Hamilton. The grand opening included a tour and remarks from Hamilton and Director of Operations Randy Blaich.
The 0.89-acre parcel previously housed a Burger King that was completely torn down to make way for the new building, according to the Beaver Creek News Current. Getting to this point required more than construction crews — the Beavercreek Planning Commission signed off on the plans in December 2025, and the Beavercreek City Council followed in January 2026 with approval of major modifications to Planned Unit Development 541. The process included questions about drive-thru vehicle stacking and discussion of circulation and site improvements.
As reported by WKEF, the new restaurant plans to employ nearly 60 people and features a double-lane drive-thru, mobile ordering technology, and interior ordering kiosks. Hamilton said the opening was a chance to serve the local community, and he added that the restaurant would continue and grow its community involvement and support, per the same report.
Sustainability Features Built Into the New Design
The ground-up build also leans into newer corporate sustainability standards. The restaurant integrates energy-efficient kitchen equipment and LED lighting meant to cut down on energy waste, according to WHIO. The restaurant held its grand opening on October 12, 2026.
Hamilton's footprint in the region keeps growing alongside the new store. WHIO's report notes the Beavercreek opening brings his total portfolio to eight McDonald's locations across Ohio.
Local and State Leaders Turn Out for the Ribbon-Cutting
The grand opening drew a notable civic crowd. Beavercreek Mayor Don Adams, who took office on January 1, 2024, after four years on city council as a member and vice mayor, attended the event, as did Ohio State Senator Willis Blackshear Jr., who represents District 6 and assumed his seat in January 2025 following four years in the Ohio House of Representatives.
The location's address puts it near The Greene Town Center. The former Burger King was demolished and replaced by the new restaurant.
Between the new jobs, the sustainability upgrades, and the attention from city and state officials, the opening reflects how much commercial weight a single fast-food rebuild can carry in a fast-growing Dayton suburb.
