According to the buzz, someone purchased the Jiffy Lube on Main Street, near Communication Studies Hall, as the site for the fast-food restaurant.
Boiling Springs Town Manager Zach Trogdon said he had heard nothing of any land purchases made for a McDonald's.
Employees at the Jiffy Lube had also heard about the McDonald's rumor, but said the site wasn't their shop.
"We heard it was that car wash down the street," one said.
Deeds provide information about who has purchased land and the names of the current owners, so the Cleveland County Register of Deeds was the best hope for getting an answer.
The results of a search of the Jiffy Lube and car wash deeds were disappointing: Both pieces of land are still owned by those businesses.
Sorry, Gardner-Webb. The rumors aren't true, at least for now.
Students will just have to cross their fingers when it comes to having a greater choice of restaurants in town.
"We definitely need more selections," said student Porsha Russell, "but I would definitely want a Chik-Fil-A over a McDonald's."
Even Trogdon wondered why the rumors were about McDonald's.
"A good idea would be to sell Chik-Fil-A at the Kennel," he said.
