McDonald's is planning another restaurant with a Princeton address, this one off FM 3286, according to a state accessibility filing logged Monday.
The project, titled "MCD FM 3286 - Princeton, TX," lists McDonald's USA LLC of Chicago as the owner and 9465 E. Lucas Branch Road, Princeton, as the location, in Collin County. It calls for new construction of a 3,779-square-foot building at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. Work is scheduled to start Feb. 2, 2027, and finish July 7, 2027.
The design firm is JAW Architects Inc. of Fort Worth. The filing describes the project as privately funded on private land,, and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists it as registered Oct. 12 with a status of "project registered."
Third McDonald's location on file
The same owner and architect filed a similar project last year. That registration, from July 2025, covers a 4,590-square-foot McDonald's near the northeast corner of FM 75 and Monte Carlo Boulevard, also estimated at $1.5 million, with a planned completion date of Feb. 28, 2026. The state database lists its status as inspection complete.
Princeton's longtime McDonald's at 103 E. Princeton Drive went through a kitchen addition in 2024, according to a separate state filing that put that work at $750,000.
