In 1982, we opened our first McDonald’s restaurant in Platteville, Wisconsin. It was a tremendous success. Today, we have eleven restaurants in ten communities and in three states.
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Wisconsin
From day one, we stressed the importance of exceptional communications and a healthy respect for one another. I am proud of the fact that these positive steps have resulted in a win-win situation for everyone. That includes our loyal McDonald’s customer base. We enjoy consistent, high remarks from our customers and as a result, our restaurants have shown considerable growth.
Today as I approach my 40th anniversary with McDonald’s, my stepson, Casey Newman, has taken the lead in our organization. Trust me when I say he believes in the same values as I do. We look forward to future opportunities for growth and continuing to serve our McDonald’s customers.
