Rolla McDonald’s Employee to be Honored for Her Outstanding Years of Service

(Rolla, MO) – It’s not often that an employee is publicly celebrated by their boss for their outstanding work, leadership, and fundraising ability but that will be the case this Thursday when the Weinbaums, owner/operators of the Rolla McDonald’s on Kingshighway, host a party for their General Manager Kristy Goodin. “Kristy is an unsung hero,” says Brenna Weinbaum. “For 19 years, she has quietly and without fanfare worked her way up to management, become a top general manager, mentored others to become managers, and in the process has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks.”

Kristy, 35, joined the St. James McDonald’s in 2006 as a 16-year-old crew member. For the past decade, she has been a general manager and currently works at the Rolla McDonald’s. Kristy has been honored as “outstanding manager” four times, manages one of the highest volume restaurants, has broken multiple store records over the years, and has developed and mentored two other general managers. Additionally, last year Kristy raised $43,651 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks! She encouraged more than 102,000 McDonald’s customers to round-up to the nearest dollar to support the charity, which provides programs and services for families so they can care for their hospitalized children. 

The public is welcome to attend the celebration for Kristy Goodin:
