The Casper family, which owns 60 McDonald's franchises in the Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida, area, is selling their stores back to McDonald's. The first restaurant opened in 1958, according to a WTSP report.

McDonald's will buy out Caspers Company, which is one of the burger company's largest operators by Oct. 1, when Caspers' CEO Blake Casper and brother-in-law Robby Adams will retire.

According to the news channel, Ronald McDonald made his TV debut at one of the stores and President John F. Kennedy stopped in for a meal in Tampa before his assassination.
