Hello, McGuire’s Family! ❤️

We are getting SO close!

We are tentatively planning to open mid-September! We don’t want to announce an official “Grand Opening” date until we are 100% certain that every last loose end is tied up and we are ready to open our doors, but things are moving in the right direction!

That being said… WE’RE HIRING!

If you know me personally, you probably know I’ve had so many people reach out wanting to be part of our opening team. First, THANK YOU. It means so much to us that so many people are excited to work with us and be part of bringing McGuire’s back.

I do have one big favor to ask: please do not message me personally about employment.

The rebuild alone has been extremely stressful, and between social media, texts, calls, and personal messages, I’m honestly not able to keep employment inquiries organized the way they deserve to be.

For that reason, we have decided to use Indeed for our main hiring process. Anyone interested in the following positions will need to apply through Indeed:

🍽️ Servers — Full & Part Time — MUST BE 18+
👩‍🍳 Line/Prep Cooks — Full & Part Time

Just a reminder — the new McGuire’s will be a restaurant-style setting, not a bar setting. While we will still serve alcohol, our focus is on creating a welcoming, family-friendly restaurant atmosphere with great food and great service. Our server positions will be traditional restaurant serving positions.

Experience is preferred, but we are absolutely willing to train the right candidates! We will be reviewing applications and selecting applicants to interview from there. Using Indeed gives us one place to compare experience, availability, and qualifications and ultimately choose the people we feel will be the best fit for our team.

And if you’re still reading, this part is important! 👇

We are ALSO looking for dishwashers, drive-thru hosts, and some additional prep help. These positions will not be posted on Indeed because previous experience really isn’t necessary.

These could be great positions for:

* High school students
* Someone looking for a second job
* Retired individuals wanting a few hours
* Anyone looking for a smaller, flexible work schedule

We plan to schedule many of these positions in approximately four-hour shifts, and I’m willing to work around school, sports, other jobs, and existing schedules to a reasonable extent.

If you are interested in one of these positions, please email your resume and availability to [email protected].

And please don’t feel like your resume is “lacking” if you don’t have restaurant experience! For these positions, we’re looking just as much at dependability, availability, work ethic, and willingness to learn.

I’m genuinely so excited to start looking through applications and putting together our new McGuire’s team. Even more than that, I’m excited for everything the next few weeks will bring as we start involving our community in the final stretch of our road to reopening.

Thank you all so much for the continued support. We can’t wait to welcome you back through our doors! ❤️

⚠️We have received a lot of questions about whether we will still be staying open until 5am when we reopen, so we wanted to take a moment to address it. ⚠️

Over the last year, we have made the decision that we will no longer be utilizing our 5am license. We will still serve alcohol and offer gaming, but we will be closing no later than 2am.

This decision wasn’t made overnight. Since the fire, a lot has changed for our family. This past year has given us a lot of time to step back and really think about what we want this business to be when we reopen. Our lives have changed, our family has changed, and our priorities and values have changed along with them.

There are several factors that went into this decision, including insurance considerations, but ultimately, we want the business we are rebuilding to reflect who we are today and stay aligned with the values that are important to our family.

One of the biggest changes will be our focus. When we reopen, we want to be a restaurant first, rather than a bar that also serves food. We want to put more focus into our food, our menu, and creating an atmosphere where families feel comfortable coming in for dinner, watching a game, or simply spending time together.

Along with those changes, we are also planning a name change. We know McGuire’s has meant a lot to us and to so many of our customers over the years, but after everything that has happened, we feel like this next chapter deserves an identity that represents where we are headed.

We know the late-night hours were a big part of McGuire’s for many years, and we understand that some people may be disappointed to see the 5am hours go. We sincerely hope our customers can understand and respect the direction we have chosen for our business and our family.

The fire changed a lot of things we never expected it to, including us. As difficult as this past year has been, it has also given us the opportunity to really think about what we want to rebuild. We don’t just want to rebuild what we had. We want to build something that represents our family, our values, and the kind of business we want to operate for years to come.

We hope all our customers will understand and support our changes. We are incredibly excited about what is ahead and cannot wait to welcome everyone back. ❤️

We are sharing these fundraising opportunities for a close family friend who is experiencing an unimaginable tragedy. A young couple has lost their child and is now trying to navigate both overwhelming grief and the financial expenses that come with such a heartbreaking loss.

If you are in a place to donate, we ask that you please consider supporting this family during this difficult time. If you are unable to give, we simply ask that you keep them lifted up in prayer as they walk through the days ahead.

We understand how heartbreaking it is to see stray and uncared animals, especially the growing number of cats in our community. We truly sympathize with anyone who wants to help them.

However, as a food establishment, we are required to follow strict health and sanitation regulations. Unfortunately, we have noticed on our security cameras that someone has been feeding stray cats on our front porch. We have allowed it to continue in hopes she was able to catch and relocate the cat. However as a result of her efforts; several cats have begun gathering, spraying, and taking shelter around our building.

As we prepare to open our doors, we can no longer allow this to continue. While we are unsure of the individual’s identity, we are sharing this message in hopes that it reaches the person involved.

As much as we care about the well-being of these animals, we must prioritize maintaining a safe, clean, and sanitary environment for our customers and employees. We kindly ask that the feeding of stray animals on or around our private property stop immediately.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work toward opening our business. Thank you for helping us keep our property safe, clean, and compliant with health regulations.

If anyone has information on a safe way to relocate these cats we would be more than happy to help in the effort of relocating or rehoming them. ♥️
