McDonald's celebrates National Breakfast Day

McDonald's celebrated National Breakfast Day last week by handing out free egg burgers to customers.

Each of the six McDonald's outlets at Kollupitiya, Race Course, Rajagiriya, Nugegoda, Kotahena and Welisara, served 1,000 free burgers.

Despite the give-away set to take place between 6 am and 10 am, crowds began gathering by 5.45 am and all of the six locations had finished their 1,000 burgers within the hour.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Sadly, so many of us are in a rush in the morning. We wanted to show our busy consumers in a truly tangible way that McDonald's breakfast is an affordable and tasty way to energetically start their mornings,” said Director of McDonald's, Sri Lanka, Udesh Wijesuriya.

“McDonald's products consist of high quality ingredients from the four essential food groups required for a well-balanced diet, including many essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. McDonald's is committed to quality, service, cleanliness and value in every aspect of its operation,” a spokesman for the company said.
