Chris Morrison and Cindy Fassel with Morrison Residential / www.NorthCentralLiving.com interview Craig DeMarco owner of Postino wine bar to talk about his new restaurant WINDSOR in North Central Phoenix. Set to Open September 2010!
Postinos is celebrating their first anniversary on Central! And what better way to celebrate then by breaking ground on a new restaurant.
Located in the 1940s building just north of Postinos on the east side of the street a renaissance begins. Planning to open by September 2010, WINDSOR is a neighborhood restaurant that will be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu was inspired by simple farm style cuisine. Always using the freshest ingredients, home style breads, jams and farm grown veggies, I guarantee, you will not leave hungry. Another surprise store is planned, but you must visit our website for that secret and a you tube video of owners Craig and Chris DeMarco and Lauren Bailey. www.northcentralliving.com
And dont forget about Postinos with its extensive wine selection, beers, incredible bruchettas, salads and sandwiches. This open air café is a great place to gather with friends and family. Bike, or walk for the weekend brunches, or a light snack after the game, or play. It is within walking distance from the light rail at Central and Camelback. www.postinowinecafe.com
North Central is fortunate to have the commitment and vision that these young entrepreneurs are bringing to our neighborhoods. While respecting the history and architectural integrity of the buildings they are bringing back to life. Thanks to the DeMarcos and Baileys for that consideration, as well as the great food!

One of the most successful and innovative McDonald’s franchisees, Bob Charles, discusses the importance of using neighborhood marketing in the food service and restaurant industry. As a McDonald’s franchisee, Bob participated in some of the great innovations from McDonald’s such as the Happy Meal and the McPride internal customer program. ________________________________________
The #1 award to franchisees was the Ronald McDonald Award. It was one of the ways Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s, sent his message by honoring “star franchisees.” One of the first winners was Bob Charles, a Colorado franchisee whose units were always 3 to 5% ahead of the market because of his total commitment to community marketing.
He remembers Ray, “His message was always ‘give back to the community.’ That was all apart of the business…it wasn’t a one-way thing.”
“In the early days, that was advertising, you participated in the baseball, the fund-raising, the different school activities.”
Ray and McDonald’s used Bob as a traveling speaker demonstrating to the whole system what you can do when you focus your attention and resources at the local level.
The Creation of the Happy Meal: Today McDonald’s is, in some ways, the biggest toy company in the world – it started in Bob’s basement. It’s amazing all that began with innovations that came from the bottom up.
“I was working with Dale Pond from our agency, Berstein-Rein, which was based in Kansas City and we found a catalog…and we found a bunch of inexpensive boxes…and we found some paper premiums…and we packaged the hamburger and fries in the box…and you could draw on the boxes…or you could punch ‘em out…it was earlier than what you see now.”
“We ran that and people started to pick it up. There was another guy in St. Louis, Dick Brams, great guy, and he started doing similar thing down there. And that’s how it all started.”

In a slow economy it is even harder for businesses to stay open, especially restaurants. The first thing people cut back on in hard times is their night out, and new restaurant owners aren’t always prepared for that.
