McDonalds New Owner
The Helena McDonald’s has a new owner starting today. Jason Black. I was able to speak with him. Here’s what he has to say,  “I live in Helena and can't wait to show Helena how friendly, tasty, and fast a McDonald's can be. Please spread the word. There will be new faces immediately visible in the restaurant. And I will be looking for more smiling faces to join the team”. Congrats Jason!
