According to multiple city officials, Watford City will be getting a McDonald’s.
During the January 21, 2025 McKenzie County Board of Commissioners meeting, Watford City Administrator, Curt Moen, mentioned the multi-billion-dollar restaurant chain has plans to come to Watford City during a funding request discussion for the 14th Ave., construction project.
Commissioner Kathy Skarda excitedly asked “McDonald’s, where is that going to be?” Followed by Commissioner Joel Brown stating “McDonald’s! I haven’t heard that.”
Moen replied “You haven’t heard...I thought word traveled faster in our little town....It will be on the corner of 11th, right where this road [14th Ave.] will end.”
Over the weekend, the Farmer staff was able to confirm with other city officials that McDonald’s is in fact coming to Watford City. This is a developing story and we will continue to report on it as more details become available.
