Congratulations to the Frost family โ father Jack (not a misprint) and sons Chris and John (photo above right), for the opening of their fourth McDonaldโs franchise in our immediate distribution areas.
The Frosts, who already have McDonaldโs locations in Tampa Palms, in the New Tampa Center and on S.R. 54 in Wesley Chapel, opened their third restaurant at 1733 Bruce B. Downs (BBD)โBlvd., next to PNCโBank, in front of Nutrition SโMart on BBD (just south of S.R. 56), with a Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) ribbon cutting on Oct. 31.
At least 50 WCCCโmembers were on hand at the sparkling new, very upscale-looking โMickey Dโs,โโwhich doesnโt have a childrenโs play area but does have large menu boards warning you that those McNuggets you love have more than 1,000 calories.
Iโhave known the Frosts since they opened their first Tampa Palms location in the City Plaza shopping center 18 years ago. The family has always been an amazing community partner and we are proud to feature the front-and-back full-page ads, with lots of great coupons (valid at all four of the local Frost-owned McDโs), on pages 43 &โ44, although the ads also outline the Daily Specials available (for a limited time) at the new BBDโstore โ like any size coffee for only $1, any Happy Meal for only $2.19 and more โ and you donโt even need coupons to get these great deals!
The new open-24-hours restaurant also will host an even bigger Grand Opening celebration on Saturday, November 23, beginning at 11 a.m., with a visit from Ronald McDonald himself, face painting, a prize wheel, great giveaways and a balloon artist.
