Mark Kramer former owner of the Rock and Roll McDonalds (Pavilions Scottsdale)
Sorry to report that Mark died yesterday. I found out from my friend Dave Oscher. Mark was a kind soul-and the few times I was able to talk with him he offered us free food He liked my blue Chevelle, too!
I asked Highline after the fact about permission to use the story. I should have asked before. Highline Autos wants a referrer (link) to their website. If you are inclined, Google is your friend We will miss Mark Mark Kramer has been a McDonald's owner/operator in the valley for the past 40 years. The former police officer got his start in 1975, when his close friend (and McDonald’s Founder) Ray Kroc asked him if he wanted his own restaurant.
