and travel here.  It’s exciting for our community and we are grateful for those who

believe in starting their business in our community."

it! Thank you for welcoming and supporting us!” said Cathy Wilson.



The Manistique McDonald’s will feature modern amenities, including convenient self-

service kiosks for ordering and the ability to place orders through the McDonald’s app.

These features are designed to enhance the customer experience and offer flexibility in

how guests choose to dine.


Victoria George, Executive Director of Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce and EDC,

expressed her enthusiasm for the Wilson family's decision to expand their business in Manistique. “We are delighted to welcome Tim and Cathy Wilson to our community,” said George. “This new McDonald’s will not only create jobs but also provide a valuable addition to our local dining scene, attracting both residents and visitors alike.”

Tim and Cathy chose Manistique to open their new business. It was a pleasure working

with them and the McDonald’s Corporation from the start to completion of the building

project."
