A brand new McDonald's restaurant will open its doors to customers on a retail park later this week after a swift refurbishment. The fast food chain is opening its sixth site in Chelmsford at the Chelmer Village Retail Park.

The global burger joint replaces Itsu which shut at the end of 2023. Before being a sushi restaurant the site had also been a Pizza Hut. Itsu closed at the retail park just over 18 months after first opening. It was the only Itsu in Essex at the time of its closure.

McDonalds will be opening at Chelmer Village Retail Park on September 18. It's the chain's sixth restaurant in Chelmsford and joins venues on the city's High Street, at Boreham Interchange, Channels, Riverside Retail Park, and on Robjohns Road.

Other Essex cities Southend-on-Sea and Colchester have four and five McDonald's restaurants. Harlow and Basildon have four and five. Other companies at the Chelmer Village Retail Park are Hobbycraft, Currys, JD Sports, Boots, Oak Furniture Land, TK Maxx, Argos, Pets At Home, Mountain and a Next Home.

Supreme Court will weigh Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. gun makers
The Supreme Court said Friday it will decide whether to block a $10 billion lawsuit Mexico filed against leading U.S. gun manufacturers over allegations their commercial practices have helped caused much bloodshed there. The gun makers asked the justices to undo an appeals court ruling that allowed the lawsuit to go forward despite broad legal protections for the firearm industry. A federal judge has since tossed out the bulk of the lawsuit on other legal grounds, but Mexico could appeal that dismissal.
