There will be charbroiled Whoppers no more at the corner of Grant Road and Alvernon Way.
The midtown Tucson fast-food shop has been demolished to make way for the Grant Road Improvement Project.
Located (formerly) in the Northgate Plaza Shopping Center, it was bulldozed Thursday, Sept. 1.
Northgate is in negotiations with another national chain for a spot at the corner once the widening is complete.
This phase of the widening project is expected to begin next year.
For Star subscribers: A company behind a planned hospital northwest of Tucson determined the medical facility was no longer needed and sold the site for $14.2 million.
For Star subscribers: Developers in the Tucson-area are eagerly building more communities of houses — not apartments — that are exclusively for renters.
