The original location of Arizona based stir-fry restaurant, YC’s Mongolian Grill in Tempe on Southern Avenue and McClintock Drive, has been demolished and will be replaced with a Starbucks, according to public record.

The now flat dirt lot is located at 3206 S. McClintock Dr. in central Tempe was home to YC’s Mongolian Grill from 1991 until its closure on August 19, 2020.

Several tractors and construction equipment lay in wait, as the fenced off lot closes a portion of the Southern Palms shopping plaza parking lot during Starbuck’s construction. 

Public records show required city plans and reviews that will see a Starbucks drive thru built on the property at an unknown later date.

There is currently a Starbucks at 3223 S. McClintock Dr., which is located directly across the street from the new construction.

It is currently unknown if this existing location will remain open once the new construction is complete.



Location: 1400 S Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ 85202, USA
