Collie McDonald’s franchisee’s Grant and Amanda Smith have expanded their business down the hill with the opening of the newest McDonald’s franchise business in Eaton on Wednesday.
The excited Mr and Mrs Smith both can’t wait for the for the store to get up and running with Mr Smith saying the new outlet will create new job opportunities.
“We have been recruiting for the past two months and we’re very impressed with the talent we have recruited locally,” he said.
Mr Smith said the decision to open the business was a McDonald’s decision to expand.
"It’s really family orientated, with a two-storey playground and a gourmet burger bar where the chef makes the burger in front of the customers,” he said.
“The choice to do that started by listening to our customers and figuring out what they wanted out of Macca’s basically.”
“It gives the customers more control.”
The official opening party will be on Saturday, August 6 with a family fun day and appearances from basketball stars from the Slammers.
