New McDonald's plays host to employees, friends, family
The McDonald's on Winnie Lane and Carson Street opened its doors early for a special crowd - the friends and families of its 70 new employees.
Sunday evening found the new facility packed full of customers (all of them somehow related to McDonald's employees) in preparation for the grand opening this upcoming Tuesday.
The grand opening (a genuine red carpet event) promises fun for the entire family - Ronald McDonald will be in attendance and there will be face painting for the kids, as well as prizes and freebies for Mom and Dad. The first 300 people in line will receive a free Big Mac per week for a year. Over 25,000 menu items, including the Big Macs, will be given away.
The event will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday. From 9 p.m. - 4 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday the menu will feature 75 cent Big Macs, and there will be specials throughout the months of June and July to celebrate the opening.
McDonald's is located at 2001 N. Carson Street. The drive-thru will be open 24 hours a day; the lobby will be open from 5 a.m. to midnight.
