STEVENSVILLE, Mich. -- The McDonald's restaurant that sits just off Exit 23 of I-94 in southwest Michigan has shuttered its doors and is removing the iconic Golden Arches as of Monday. 

When reporters were at the scene of 4661 Red Arrow Highway in Stevensville Monday morning, they say crews were taking down the extremely tall McDonald's sign that was built to entice drivers on the heavily trafficked I-94.

Crews are also pulling all of the furniture out of the building as well as removing parking lot lights Monday morning. 

We reached out to a worker at the now closed store who confirmed the restaurant is permanently closed because, "the owners just decided to shut it down."
