A roughly ten block long section of Main Street was destroyed in the Joplin tornado.
Some of the businesses have already reopened, and others are in the process of rebuilding.
Joplin Chamber of Commerce president Rob O'Brian says as more businesses come back to Main, they will attract new businesses to that part of town.
The McDonalds on south main is just one of the businesses that has already rebuilt.
Managers say as more homes are rebuilt, business is continuing to grow.
