McDonald's New York Tri-State Area Restaurants Celebrate Take Your Parent to Work Day

     First-Ever Event Promises Family Fun and Opportunity to Learn the
                           McDonald's Experience

    ROSELAND, N.J., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, New York Tri-State Area
McDonald's restaurants celebrate the inaugural Take Your Parent to Work
Day. A creative twist on the more traditional Take Your Child to Work Day
on April 24, Take Your Parent to Work Day was conceived by area McDonald's
to celebrate the supportive parents that help make McDonald's Crew members
the best in the business. Across the area, McDonald's employees are
encouraged to bring their parents to work and show them the fun and the
variety of experiences that go into a day at McDonald's. Not only do
parents have the chance to see the work their children do, but they can be
a part of the McDonald's team for a day and learn how each restaurant
functions as a whole from food prep through the work of McDonald's
supportive managers.

    "We are thrilled to launch Take Your Parent to Work Day," said Paul
Hendel, president of the McDonald's New York Tri-State Area
Owners/Operators Association. "It's going to be an enjoyable day for
parents, employees and customers, but most importantly it's a chance to
showcase the teamwork, ability and dedication of our teams at McDonald's.
We think everyone, parents and McDonald's crew members alike, will learn
something new about themselves from this experience."

    New York Tri-State Area McDonald's is unique in offering this
opportunity to open up the McDonald's family to the families of McDonald's.
At Take Your Parent to Work Day, moms and dads see the variety of jobs that
go into making a McDonald's restaurant run. From work behind the grill and
behind the register to maintenance and supply chain operations, McDonald's
can only function when all members of the team work hard and support one
another. McDonald's is an excellent place for employees to grow and many
McDonald's employees go on to become restaurant managers, field managers
and corporate leaders.
