Congratulations to the Frost family — father Jack (not a misprint) and sons Chris and John, for the opening of their fourth McDonald’s franchise in our immediate distribution areas.

The Frosts, who already have McDonald’s locations in Tampa Palms, in the New Tampa Center on BBD and on S.R. 54 in Wesley Chapel, opened at 1733 Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd., next to PNC Bank, in front of Nutrition S’Mart (just south of S.R. 56), with a WCCC ribbon cutting on Oct. 31 (photo above).

At least 50 WCCC members were on hand at the sparkling new, upscale “Mickey D’s,” which doesn’t have a children’s play area but does have large menu boards warning you that those McNuggets you love are more than 1,000 calories.

The new open-24-hours restaurant also hosted its own 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, some great giveaways and a balloon artist.
