Mihir Patel is the new owner of Dauphin's McDonald's; he officially took over ownership of the restaurant on August 1st.
Mr. Patel is new to the community, but he plans to live and stay in Dauphin as he tries to grow his roots here,
"I am going to be staying in Dauphin because I believe that if I stay in Dauphin, I will be able to connect with my community people and support them any way I can. Certainly, it is a busy town. We do serve a lot of traffic in Dauphin for sure and being the owner of the McDonald's, I do see how much people support the McDonald's, so that is certainly awesome to work there."
Patel pointed out some of the changes coming to the restaurant under his leadership,
"There are certain changes we are going to be making. The first thing we will be doing is the whole dining area with a new look. We are changing our kitchen station and our drive-thru to provide customers with better and effective service."
Patel notes that he aims to hire 30 more staff as one of his first priorities as owner.
Mihir is a family man. In fact, on his first day of taking over McDonald's ownership in the city, his wife had a baby boy to join his two other sons and German Shepherd.
