In a blow to hungry Novocastrians travelling between the Hunter and Sydney, the iconic “golden arches” at Wyong will soon be no more.
It’s understood the McDonald’s restaurants at the twin service stations on the M1 are set to shut their doors at the end of July.
The news comes as the fast-food chain’s lease at the site ends, with a move to Cooranbong, north of Morisset, imminent.
Ampol, which operates the petrol outlets, indicated McDonald’s would be replaced by a Hungry Jacks.
“We’ll soon begin upgrades at our two service centres on the M1 at Wyong to improve customer amenity,” it said in a statement.
“The refreshed sites will include AmpCharge EV charging bays, along with a new convenience offer, including Ampol Foodary, Hungry Jack’s, Oliver’s and other quick service restaurants on both sides of the highway.”
