Detroit Celebrates Global McDelivery Day

DETROIT (July 19, 2018)- McDonald’s is celebrating fun, food and convenience around the world by bringing back Global McDelivery Day on Thursday, July 19.

This year on Global McDelivery Day, McDonald’s is transforming everyday, routine moments into fun and delicious moments. McDonald’s knows that right now, there’s nothing more fun than 1990s nostalgia, so this year, we’re introducing the Throwback Collection – a set of fun T-shirts, bandanas, pins, socks and Pop Sockets featuring designs inspired by the ‘90s.

As part of the celebration, McDonald’s held a Music Moments event at the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, where dueling pianos entertained the lunchtime crowd, while guests were given items from the Throwback Collection and certificates to try McDelivery.

“Delivering convenience and fun to our customers is part of McDonald’s DNA,” said James Thrower II, McDonald’s owner/operator in Detroit. “We’re proud to bring the fun of Global McDelivery Day into our local community and share the ease and convenience of our partnership with Uber Eats with our neighbors.”

People who order McDelivery through Uber Eats, from a participating McDonald’s restaurant, on July 19 can receive a free Throwback Collection gift with a minimum $5 food order beginning at 10:30 or 11 a.m. depending on lunch time at your local restaurant, while supplies last. Simply add your McDelivery swag to your Uber Eats basket along with your order. The ‘90s Throwback Collection will be available on a first come, first-served basis only at participating restaurants.

After decades of delivery success in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, McDonald’s and Uber Eats began piloting McDelivery with 200 restaurants in January of 2017. One year later, McDelivery is available in nearly 12,000 restaurants around the world through Uber Eats and various delivery partners, giving our guests the craveable, delicious McDonald’s food they love when they can't get to us.
