A Popular Fast Food Restaurant Is Getting A New Great Falls Location

Great Falls continues to expand and whether we're ready or not, there are some new businesses making their way into the area.

Recently, I came across some pretty significant information about another major development coming to Great Falls.

America's Favorite Fast Food Restaurant Is Getting A New Great Falls Location

Yesterday afternoon, I received an alert from my phone about an intriguing near  post on social media. In the app, a user shared details about a bid for a new McDonald's in Great Falls.

After countless searches with the information I saw on the post, I was led to this link that had the following information about a new McDonald's:

Bid Date: 01/27/2026
Project: Great Falls McDonalds - Langlas
Location: Great Falls

As for the location, I did some research and trust me when I say I had enough search queries to fill up a small journal. What I came across was a story from The Electric here in Great Falls back in April 2025 about a new McDonald's location that could be constructed over at 5300 10th Ave. S near Walmart, but whether or not that is the same location tied to the construction bid remains to be seen.

Is This Good For Great Falls?

Now, I'm fairly new to the area and have only been here since August of 2025. With that said, I don't see how new businesses with new opportunities for jobs would ever be a bad thing for a growing community like Great Falls.

Is there a chance that it can create a little bit more traffic? Sure. But at least it's in an area that still has time to grow and isn't all that busy... yet.

There's no telling when this new location will open just yet but you better believe that we'll share more information with you as it becomes available to us.
