A McDonald’s opened at 32 Montauk Highway in Blue Point in November 2024, taking over the space formerly occupied by a Burger King that had anchored the site for 40 years. The new location is owned and operated by franchisee Johnah Kaufman, who now runs 11 McDonald’s on Long Island. The opening was covered by Greater Long Island.
What the article didn’t mention: I brokered the lease that brought McDonald’s to this site. In 25 years of specializing in retail investment sales on Long Island, this is the only leasing transaction I’ve ever done.
Landing McDonald’s as a tenant for a vacant former Burger King on a high-traffic Suffolk County corridor isn’t a bad way to mark your one and only leasing deal.
