There芒鈧劉s upwards of 85 new jobs in the making, thanks to the addition of just one restaurant currently under construction in north Willoughby.
Ron Knight, soon to be the owner of a third McDonald芒鈧劉s restaurant in north 91原创, is pretty excited about the triangular-shaped customized structure McDonald芒鈧劉s has chosen to build, in what he called one of the fast growing neighbourhood of 91原创.
He was approached this spring by the McDonald芒鈧劉s corporation, and asked if he芒鈧劉d take on a new restaurant on the northeast corner of 200th Street and 84th Avenue 芒鈧�� a location they identified as ideal for another McDonald芒鈧劉s.
He was quick to agree. And he was equally quick to be immersed in the planning and construction. He芒鈧劉s been watching as the structure goes up and the accents get added, noting it comes complete with a fireplace and lounge-like setting, dual drive-thrus, and three-storey windows.
But new businesses are opening up almost every day around 91原创, and Knight said he芒鈧劉s more excited about all the new opportunities for young people that will come with the addition of this newest restaurant.
芒鈧揊rom an employment standpoint, I expect to staff the restaurant with approximately 80 to 85 employees, which would put my three restaurant team staffing to over 210,芒鈧� he said.
While much of the staff has already been hired, Knight said another 20 are expected to join the team within the next month.
芒鈧揟his new location has opened up all sorts of new opportunities芒鈧� for a lot of new young people to come aboard,芒鈧� he said, noting people can apply online at www.applyatgateway.com.
Moreover, Knight explained that 芒鈧揳 good number of these team members芒鈧� have been with him for years.
芒鈧揂ll of my managers started in my North 91原创 restaurants,芒鈧� Knight explained, proudly announcing that all four of his kids are going to be involved, too.
His son Brad will be running the new location, assisted by his sister Jessica, with help as needed from their siblings James and Melissa.
The new Gateway restaurant is expected to host a grand opening in early to mid-November, with a fundraising celebration that will split proceeds between PUCKs and the Ronald McDonald House in the Fraser Valley.
All bout the bride
It芒鈧劉s all about that dress, 芒鈧渂out that dress, 芒鈧渂out that dress 芒鈧�� or should I say dresses.
Okay I芒鈧劉ll stop warping the Meghan Trainor芒鈧劉s All About That Bass lyrics. But let me tell you all 芒鈧渂out a bridal boutique in downtown 91原创 City that is going strong.
There芒鈧劉s a party happening this Saturday on the one-way section of the Fraser Highway, and it芒鈧劉s all 芒鈧渂out the dresses and the extra space Everything But the Groom now has to show them.
Heidi Tobler, and her team moved (on the Labour Day weekend) into a new 3,300-square-foot space just up the road from the former locale they occupied for close to a decade.
They芒鈧劉re holding a grand opening party on Oct. 11.
芒鈧揥e are very excited about our expansion and our beautiful new store,芒鈧� Tobler said. 芒鈧揊or nine years, we have been proud to provide exceptional selection and customer service to brides, grads, and wedding parties. With our larger location, we can offer even more dresses to choose from and lots of space to try them on.芒鈧�
