The first McDonald’s branch is being built in Niederamt on the former Tonet AG site – 40 jobs to be created
Dulliken will get its own McDonald’s branch with McDrive at Bodenackerstrasse 27. It is not yet clear when the American fast food chain will open the restaurant.
Dulliken will get a new McDonald’s branch. The planning application was recently submitted. The protest period lasts from now until and including November 20. The fast food restaurant is to be built at Bodenackerstrasse 27 and, like most branches, will be run by licensees. According to the announcement, around 40 new jobs are expected.
It is not yet clear when the restaurant will open. The media office writes on request that we are in good communication with the authorities. “At this stage, however, we cannot say anything about the opening date.”
The McDonald’s in Dulliken is the first restaurant of the American fast food chain in Niederamt. When asked, they want to be close to the guests. McDonald’s has been in Olten and Aarau since 1994 and 1995 respectively. We are always looking for new places. And the evaluation would show that a McDonald’s restaurant is desirable between the two cities – a location with “McDrive”. This has two lanes.
McDonald’s takes advantage of the convenient location. The location on Bodenackerstrasse is ideal for a McDonald’s restaurant with McDrive due to its convenient location. “Drivers pass the restaurant on their way to work and shopping and don’t just drive to McDonald’s,” the media office continues.
In order to optimize the traffic situation, the restaurant chain also submits a report. According to the notice, this controls the parking spaces for cars, bicycles and mopeds and the e-charging stations. Solar cells will also be placed on the roof to generate energy.
Space for around 200 guests indoors and outdoors
The site is one of a maximum of seven branches opened each year. There are a total of 182 locations in Switzerland. The restaurant in Dulliken offers space for approximately
Guests can choose between different ordering options: at the counter, on the ordering kiosk screen or through the McDonald’s app. Menus are served at the table or packaged for take-out.
McDonald’s emphasizes that they will source most of their ingredients from Swiss partners such as Bell, Emmi, Eisberg, Fortisa, Frigemo and Ospelt, thereby serving the local economy.

The planning application also includes an anti-litter strategy. McDonald’s relies on sustainable packaging with less plastic. Instead, according to the announcement, 95 percent renewable, recycled or certified materials such as paper or cardboard are used. Clean-up trips and additional trash cans are also planned to help combat the littering problem.

Tonet AG moves its location to Däniken
The location of the new McDonald’s branch is on the site of Tonet AG. They are looking to move their operations to Däniken next year, where the company is currently building a training and storage building. Rico Tonet, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tonet AG, says that they have been looking for a new location for the company for a long time. «We found a property in Däniken with great support from the community. This aligns with our thoughts and strategic direction as part of the succession planning with my son.”
Tonet advertised the old building in Dulliken through a private channel and was approached by McDonald’s. «The negotiations went well. Both sides were interested in fair negotiations. There was no competition,” says Tonet. He is looking forward to moving to the new warehouse and training building. “We have a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge to give.”
The family company is “now an integral part of the carpentry industry,” as the company writes about itself. Today, some 65 years after its establishment, the company, which specializes in the treatment of wooden surfaces, is growing rapidly.
The planning application for a new McDonald’s branch has been submitted for a location at Bodenackerstrasse 27, with a protest period running until November 20. This will be the first McDonald’s in Niederamt, aiming to serve approximately 200 guests both indoors and outdoors and expected to create around 40 new jobs.
The specific opening date remains uncertain as the company is in communication with local authorities. The restaurant will feature a “McDrive” with two lanes, designed to attract drivers commuting for work and shopping. In addition to traditional ordering at the counter, customers will have the option to order via kiosks or the McDonald’s app, with food available for dining in or take-out.
The restaurant will prioritize sourcing ingredients from local Swiss partners in a bid to support the local economy. Additionally, the project includes plans for solar energy generation, an anti-litter strategy with sustainable packaging, and controls for parking spaces and e-charging stations to improve traffic flow around the site.
With a strategic location and a commitment to sustainability, the new McDonald’s aims to integrate well into the community and provide convenient services for residents and passersby alike.
