McDonald’s will start construction on a new restaurant in Harpley which the company says will inject over $8.5 million into the local economy and create over 200 jobs for construction workers and restaurant employees.
The new restaurant, at 228 Ison Road, Werribee, will be owned and operated by licensee Michael Lee.
Mr Lee joined McDonald’s as a licensee 36 years ago and now employs over 700 staff across six existing restaurants in Brooklyn, Hogans Corner, Maltby Bypass, Manor Lakes, Werribee and Werribee Plaza.
“We are excited to start construction on a new restaurant in Wyndham and create 100 construction jobs, as well as a further 100 operational jobs once the restaurant opens,“ Mr Lee said.
“McDonald’s Harpley is committed to playing an active role in the local community through providing jobs, training and development opportunities, as well as supporting local charities and groups that are important to our customers and people.
“We look forward to serving up our great tasting, great quality menu once the restaurant opens later this year.”
McDonald’s Harpley will be fully equipped with solar panels and LED lights, helping to reduce emissions and energy use in the restaurant.
