Costa Family McDonald’s has announced that they will open the first McDonald’s location in Santa Rosa Beach and will break ground on the new restaurant on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
David Costa Jr., owner and operator of Costa Family McDonald’s, along with local dignitaries and members from the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce will also commemorate the announcement with an official groundbreaking ceremony.
The new restaurant, adjacent to Publix in Santa Rosa Beach, is being built by Stansell Properties & Development and will span 4,000 square feet and feature a large parking area, drive thru, and plenty of dine-in space for patrons to enjoy. For the first time in the market, this location will also feature kiosks where customers will have the option to pay cash for their order. The newest Costa location will also create over 60 jobs for the community. Construction is projected to be completed by June 2024, but to stay up to date on an official grand opening date, follow Costa Enterprises on Facebook and Instagram.
This is the first of two Santa Rosa Beach locations Costa plans to open in 2024 with the second location coming in across from the Walmart in Santa Rosa Beach. With the two new locations, Costa plans to give back to the local community, schools, and charities surrounding each restaurant in Walton County. Since the company was founded in 1994, the Costa family has made it a pillar of their company framework to give back to the community and support in various ways.
