A new McDonald’s in Owen Sound is having its grand opening today.
Located on the east side of the city on Highway 26, Owner and Operator of McSound Investments Steve Sgro says the new restaurant opened its doors about four weeks ago as a soft launch.
“We are up and running, doing 100 per cent with a full, brand-new, top-of-the-line restaurant, which has the most up to date kitchen production system and side-by-side drive thru, delivery and curbside, and mobile and kiosk services,” says Sgro.
He says as part of the grand opening, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 11:15 a.m. on June 28 and they will be offering a heavily discounted combo which will run for a number of weeks.
“It is available to anybody who comes to the restaurant. We will not be doing it through delivery because the whole point is we want you to come and see the new restaurant. So anybody who comes, drive-thru or inside can get that deal,” says Sgro.
Sgro says the benefit of opening a new location in addition to the west side location, is they will be able to tend to more potential customers.
“For a number of years we have been very lucky that our west side store has been exceptionally busy and well-used by the people of Owen Sound, but we knew we were missing out on a lot of potential customers by not being on the east side just because the downtown can get so congested especially in the summer, but we are finally glad to be there,” says Sgro.
