In 1985, Mr. Bambery left the McDonald's organization to come to Mankato. He then acquired two McDonald's units and has grown his operation to five units. Mr. Bambery was recently recognized by MSU as the Philathropist of the Year in 2006 for his significant involvement in many civic and not-for-profit organizations.
