Can "at Junction 8" be replaced by "in Junction 8"?

The two students were at the McDonald’s at Junction 8, when they were approached by a middle-aged man who asked them to help him order food.

Can “at Junction 8” be replaced by “in Junction 8”?

Thanks.

Junction 8 is apparently the name of a shopping mall.
You could say “in Junction 8”, though I think “at Junction 8” would be more common.

In my opinion, for a specific, identifiable or locatable place, the preposition ‘at’ is more suitable and grammatical.
