Summary
Chuck Edwards and his wife, Teresa, sold their McDonald's restaurant business to Asheville franchisees Christine and Chris Nevant, ending a nearly 50-year tie to the chain.
At 65, the North Carolina Republican said the sale will let him fully exit business ownership and devote more time and energy to serving western North Carolina in Congress.
Edwards began at McDonald's at 16, later bought that same restaurant and expanded to multiple western North Carolina locations, though the number sold and financial terms were not disclosed.
Teresa Edwards had run day-to-day operations since Edwards entered the North Carolina Senate in 2016, a role he said made his years in elected office possible.
