McDonald’s is offering a kick-start to the school year with a free breakfast. On Tuesday, Sept. 13, participating restaurants will offer free breakfast from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. to students in kindergarten through eighth grade. At Central Coast restaurants, students can enjoy an Egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich, along with apple slices, and their choice of milk or orange juice.
Students younger than 13 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or adult to redeem the offer. Only one breakfast is allowed per student.
“There are a lot of changes taking place at McDonald’s, but one thing that’s never changed is our commitment to the well-being of children,” local McDonald’s franchisee and president of the McDonald’s Operators/Operator Association of Central Coast, David Peterson, said in a statement. “We are proud to offer a great-tasting, free breakfast made with quality ingredients for the second year.”
Earlier this month, McDonald’s announced a number of changes across the menu as the company continues to evolve. One change included removing artificial preservatives from several items including the Chicken McNuggets and breakfast pork sausage patties, according to the statement.
