85-year-old Brian Lawson and his fellow residents from Coppice Lodge care home in Arnold were invited to celebrate McDonald’s 50th anniversary at their local branch in Daybrook, where Brian would enjoy his first ever McDonald’s meal.
The McDonald’s staff gave the residents a warm welcome, showing them to their VIP table, where the residents browsed the menu. Brian opted for a classic cheeseburger and fries, eager to sample the fast food he’s heard so much about.
Brian said, ‘This is absolutely delicious. I can see why all the kids love it so much now – can we come here again?’
99-year-old Rose Seston, another resident who had never eaten at McDonald’s before, added, ‘The food is lovely, but I just can’t believe how kindly everyone has treated us today.’
Sarah Barnes, the Home Manager at Coppice Lodge, commented, ‘The McDonald’s 50th anniversary was a true celebration of community. Our residents had a wonderful time sampling the menu and they can’t wait to come back.
‘McDonald’s have even offered to visit our home for a pop-up restaurant, which we’re sure will be a huge success. We’re excited to build on this fantastic new community relationship.’
You can meet the residents and team at Coppice Lodge at the home’s Summer Party on Tuesday 30th July. From 14:00 until 17:00, all are welcome to enjoy live entertainment, a petting zoo, delicious refreshments and lots of family fun.
