The Meoli Companies proudly unveiled its 26th McDonald’s location on the Delmarva Peninsula with a grand opening celebration in Milton, Delaware. The new restaurant, located at 102 Broadkill Road, opened its doors on December 17, 2024, marking an exciting milestone for the local community and the company.
A Celebration to Remember
The grand opening event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a unique “First Bite” activity, where attendees shared their inaugural taste of McDonald’s favorites like french fries, Chicken McNuggets, and cheeseburgers. Community leaders, including Milton Mayor John Collier and Aaron Rodgers, President of the Milton Chamber of Commerce, delivered heartfelt remarks.
To support local organizations, the Meoli Companies presented $2,500 donations to both the Milton Pantry and the Milton Community Foundation, reinforcing their commitment to giving back.
Creating Opportunities in Milton
With the new location comes approximately 60 new jobs for the Milton community. “We are thrilled to officially open in Milton, a town that is clearly on the rise,” said Mike Meoli, owner/operator of the Meoli Companies. “Our commitment to community is at the heart of everything we do. From creating jobs to investing in Milton organizations to empowering education and language development, we aim to provide opportunities and give back everywhere we go. We’re proud to now call Milton home and look forward to serving this wonderful community for years to come.”
The Meoli Companies have worked closely with the Town of Milton to ensure the restaurant’s design complements the area’s architectural character. The building blends seamlessly into its surroundings, reflecting Milton’s charming small-town feel while offering a modern dining experience.
