The Route 23 fast food joint that locals spent years eating and hanging out at came down last Wednesday to make room for a new strip mall.

Residents lamented the news in a Facebook group, remembering fire department carnivals in the parking lot and the burgers that fueled late nights out.

Construction will soon begin on a 5,000-square-foot Panera Bread, 5,000-square-foot Wawa and 14,900-square-foot CVS pharmacy, the DailyRecord says.

The CVS and Panera will both have drive-thru windows.

Local officials anticipated a fall opening.
