CHICAGO, Feb. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- McDonald's
changed the breakfast game forever in 1971 with the
introduction of the Egg McMuffin—the FIRST ever quick
service restaurant breakfast sandwich, and arguably the BEST. Now,
nearly 50 years after its debut, this fan favorite is getting the
celebration it deserves: its very own national holiday. That's
right, we're declaring Monday, March
2nd National Egg McMuffin Day.
We're inviting fans to celebrate with us by getting a free,
freshly prepared Egg McMuffin at participating McDonald's
nationwide. Customers need only download our mobile App to redeem
this offer between 6-10:30 AM local
time on Monday, March 2*. Now that's
something worth getting up for.
"While we're giving the Egg McMuffin its moment, we're really
honoring our breakfast fans who have woken up with McDonald's
breakfast for nearly 50 years. And we just thought, 'hey, why not
declare March 2 as National Egg
McMuffin Day?'," said David Tovar,
Vice President of U.S. Communications. "We're always looking for
new ways to show our fans love and remind them, no matter where
they might be, a great tasting and convenient breakfast is just
around the corner for them at McDonald's."
The iconic Egg McMuffin was first created in early 1971 by
Herb Peterson, an owner and operator
in Santa Barbara, California. What
started as an attempt to make Eggs Benedict became a breakfast
icon: the Egg McMuffin. Herb is also credited with creating the
Teflon rings to give the eggs their perfectly rounded shape—a tool
that has inspired other brands around the world.
The Egg McMuffin is an excellent source of protein and oh so
delicious. We place a freshly cracked Grade A egg on a toasted
English Muffin topped with real butter and add lean Canadian bacon
and melty American cheese.
McDonald's has been a leader at breakfast for nearly 50 years.
From introducing Breakfast Burritos (1991) and McGriddles (2003) to
letting there be All Day Breakfast (2015) and debuting our current
2 for $4 Mix and Match Value Deal,
customers have what they love at the speed and convenience they
trust and expect from us.

sandwich on Monday, March 2 from
6-10:30 AM at your participating
