New McDonald's franchisee Chris Williams takes the helm in Brixton
Entrepreneur Chris Williams MBA has officially become the Owner/Operator of McDonald’s Brixton High Street, completing a 563-day journey from submitting his application to taking ownership of his first restaurant. This marks the beginning of what he hopes will become a long-term business built around people, service, opportunity and the local community.
Reflecting on the journey to becoming a franchisee, Chris said the experience had “stretched me, developed me and humbled me”, describing taking ownership of the restaurant as much more than a business acquisition.
For Chris, the milestone represents an opportunity to build a business that creates jobs, develops people and makes a positive contribution to Brixton, while establishing a legacy for the future.
Chris Williams said: “563 days ago, it was an application. Today, it’s a restaurant. Tomorrow, we start building the legacy.
“This journey has stretched me, developed me and humbled me. Taking ownership of McDonald’s Brixton High Street is an incredibly proud moment, but for me this is about much more than acquiring a restaurant.
“It’s the start of building something around people, service, opportunity, community and legacy. I’m excited to work alongside the team, get to know our customers and the wider Brixton community, and build a business that creates opportunities for people to thrive.”
Becoming a McDonald’s franchisee follows an extensive selection and training process designed to prepare new Owner/Operators to run their own restaurant businesses.
Chris will now be responsible for the operation of McDonald’s Brixton High Street and its team, with a focus on delivering a great experience for customers while developing and investing in his people.
He added: “This is only the beginning. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me throughout the journey, and I’m looking forward to what we can achieve together in Brixton.”
