I kind of hate McDs with a passion for lots of reasons, but the bigger issue for me is that Pahoa several years ago was clearly going to grow and could have been a charming village with character that would make people want to visit and spend their $. Instead it just has ugly gas stations and chain stores and as you approach town, it's not appealing at all. If I was a tourist, I'd keep on driving.
