McDonald’s South Africa will be celebrating McD Breakfast Day on 9 March. To commemorate this event McDonalds will be giving away 217 000 Egg McMuffins for free in South Africa.
McDonald’s senior marketing director, Daniel Padiachy explained that The National Breakfast Day was started by McDonald’s in 2013 to encourage its customers to eat hearty breakfasts every morning. “It’s a well-known fact that a good breakfast is one of the key foundations for a productive life,” he said.
Padiachy continued to point out that breakfasts serve as a crucial start to the day. “It improves our mental and physical capabilities, as well as our mood and overall sense of well-being. At McDonald’s, we feel that if breakfast is the most important meal of the day, why shouldn’t we pay homage to this delicious morning meal? National Breakfast Day is a celebration of the goodness of breakfast and a reminder to all South Africans about the importance of breakfast to power up their days,” he said.
Mc Donalds will give away free Egg McMuffins to the first 1 000 people at each of their restaurants across the country on McD Breakfast Day.
