The main McDonald’s restaurant in Redmond is undergoing a $1 million renovation
Paul started in the business when he was a teen in 1967,
making milkshakes and flipping burgers for $1.35 an hour.
Working through junior college and then getting his de-
gree from Arizona State, he was running his own restau-
rant six months out of college. Rodby moved up through
the chain, landing a job with the corporate offices in Phoe-
nix for 15 years.
“When the restaurant became available in Redmond, we
decided to take a look at it,” said Kathy Rodby. “We’ve been
very happy with the reception we’ve received, in fact, at all
our restaurants by the communities they are in and we’re
happy to be a positive force for those communities.”
The restaurants employ more than 300 employees and
they are looking for some 30 more to hire for the summer.
“The pandemic has put a hurt on hiring and many
restaurants have been struggling this past year,” Rodby
said. “We’ve been fortunate that we’ve able to remain open
with the drive-thru, and ordering kiosks in the lobby.”
While not fully retiring, Rodby notes that his youngest
son, Mason, is following him into the business and is in
training to be a manger. The couple has two other children,
Taylor and Andrew.
“We enjoy staying involved with in local communities,
working with local nonprofits and helping move things

along,” Rodby said. (See sidebar)
“I’m looking forward to being a part of the growth at our
Redmond Senior Center as it reinvents itself. Besides the
Meals on Wheels programs which helps to feed more than
120 folks daily, the center can become a vital community out-
let for education and information. There is a high level of en-
ergy and great folks moving forward to work together with
community business partners and the City of Redmond.”
“I lived here my whole life
and I went to Lynch so it’s
nice to know you are putting
something back into the
community that you used to
be a part of.”

Curtis and her Ridgeview High
School classmates, Faye Davis, a
17-year-old junior, and Lucy Stancliff,
a 15-year-old freshman, delivered
the food Thursday to M.A. Lynch El-
ementary School in Redmond and
Tumalo Elementary School.
The Redmond High School stu-
dents deliver their food to Terrebonne
Elementary School and Sage Elemen-
tary School in Redmond.
Davis said she always enjoys deliv-
ering food to M.A. Lynch because she
went to school there and feels con-
nected to the students. She doesn’t get
to meet with the elementary students
in person because of the COVID-19
pandemic, but she likes seeing them
walking between classrooms. She

knows the food drive program is help-
ing them.
“I lived here my whole life and I
went to Lynch so it’s nice to know you
are putting something back into the
community that you used to be a part
of,” Davis said.
At Redmond High School, 18-year-
old senior Daisy Altamirano is a part
of the food-drive program.
Altamirano said it started as a good
volunteer opportunity, but has grown
into something she is passionate
about.

“After getting involved and seeing
how many bags we do each week,
it’s a pretty impactful thing,” Altami-
rano said, “especially knowing you
are helping out and giving back to the
community. And making a positive
impact.”
Altamirano hopes the program
continues for future school years.
“It’s very helpful,” Altamirano said.
“I could see it going further and mak-
ing more bags in the future.”
