Music City is home to one of the world’s top McDonald’s Owner/Operators. Gina and Tony Wolfe of Wolfe Enterprises were recently awarded the Fred L. Turner Golden Arch Award, the most prestigious recognition for a McDonald’s Owner/Operator. It is presented to the best of the best — only the top 1% of McDonald’s Owner/Operators earn this high honor that recognizes a relentless dedication to customer service, exceptional achievement in business, and significant community involvement.
Gina and Tony Wolfe were among only a handful of operators from around the world chosen for the coveted award, which will be presented at the McDonald’s Worldwide Convention gala dinner in Las Vegas next year.
The Wolfe’s operate 14 restaurants in Greater Tennessee, including multiple locations in Spring Hill and Columbia. In fact, Gina’s parents, Tony and Carol Bastone, opened Columbia’s first McDonald’s in 1974 — further showcasing the family’s dedication and commitment to the Greater Tennessee community across generations. They are as passionate about their 800+ local employees as they are the customers they serve.
“The most important thing is our people, our employees. We have great products, but it’s all about people. It’s about people who are behind the counter and people who are your loyal customers and friends in this community. It’s a blessing for us to be involved in the community and give back,” Gina Wolfe said.

The husband/wife duo is no stranger to recognition when it comes to quality service and direct impact on the community, having previously received the Sales Increase and Guest Count Award, Outstanding Operations Award, Outstanding Service Award, The People Award, and The Ronald Award, among others, from McDonald’s Corporation.

The Wolfes continue to serve the community beyond the Golden Arches with involvement in organizations like Ronald McDonald House Charities of Nashville, Discipleship House for Women, Maury County Youth Educational Foundation, and more.
