The McDonald’s restaurants in Bluewater Bay and Niceville will be transferred to the new owners, Tim and Stacey Hughes, on December 15, 2023, according to Costa Enterprises.

Company founder and Niceville resident David Costa Sr. has owned both locations since 1997.

“The Niceville community has been an integral part of our journey, both personally and professionally,” said Costa.

“We are truly appreciative of the memories and the community we’ve built together and will continue to support and give back in various ways.”

Over the years, Costa said both locations have undergone various renovations to adapt to the local community. The Niceville location was updated with photos and memorabilia from the surrounding community and high school to reflect the important, homegrown spirit of the restaurant. The Bluewater Bay location upgraded and expanded its PlayPlace to accommodate the growing younger generation in the area.

“These restaurants truly reflect the heart and soul of the community that surrounds them,” said Costa

“We wanted anyone who visits the restaurant to get a true feel for where they are and understand what a special place Niceville is.”
