CRESWELL – Creswell gained a pair of golden arches in the spot that was once home to China Wok and Hot Shot Coffee. Construction has been brewing for months, but last Friday, a grand opening celebration welcomed a brand-new, top-of-the-line McDonald’s at 375 E. Oregon Ave.

Originally from Utah, Shane and Kara Campbell operate 16 McDonald’s locations across Western Oregon, including Springfield’s Gateway and Thurston locations, Cottage Grove’s, and now one in Creswell. The Campbells have worked with the company for over 30 years.

“I’m loving this community,” Kara Campbell said. “They’ve been awesome so far.”

The restaurant partnered with Creswell High School sports teams earlier that morning. The cross country team, the girls and boys soccer teams, and the volleyball team each received $500 for working. A total of $2,000 was awarded to the high school. According to Campbell, the teams ran social media, held signs, and even dressed up as Grimace.
