One Kitchen, a multi-brand ghost kitchen (also known as a cloud or virtual kitchen), has taken over the space formerly occupied by a McDonald’s location. The facility prepares food from more than 20 national brands out of a single shared kitchen, optimized for pickup, delivery, and limited dine-in.

Customers can order items from multiple concepts—such as MrBeast Burger, Quiznos, Cheesecake Factory desserts, Saladworks, Cinnabon, Ben & Jerry’s, and others—in a single transaction. A Halal-focused variant under the Babaz brand is also part of the One Kitchen family, expanding options for customers seeking compliant meals.
