McDonald's Shares Lovin' With Southern California Customers

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- McDonald's is now randomly accepting Lovin' as a form of currency. Following the launch of McDonald's "Pay with Lovin'" Super Bowl commercial, the company is bringing the idea to life at participating restaurants across the U.S.

Customers who enter participating  restaurants* across Southern California between Monday, Feb. 2 and Saturday, Feb. 14 could be selected at random to have the price of their meal eliminated in exchange for a small act of kindness.  Breakfast might cost a friendly fist bump to the crew member on duty, lunch could be paid for with a call to a loved one and dinner could go for a compliment**.

"McDonald's is in a unique position to bring a little more lovin' to our customers," said Deborah Wahl, chief marketing officer for McDonald's USA. "We're on a journey to change the relationship and Pay with Lovin' is a direct way for us to engage with our customers. We believe that a little more Lovin' can change a lot."

"Southern California McDonald's believes 'a little more Lovin' can change a lot' and it's an idea that's inspiring everything we do moving forward,"  said Clay Paschen, III, McDonald's owner/operator and president of the McDonald's Operators' Association of Southern California (MOASC).  "Pay with Lovin' is just one way we are doing that. Through our brand's renewed focus on Lovin', we hope people are inspired to recognize and celebrate the Lovin' they share with each other every day."

McDonald's is encouraging people to share their Lovin' experiences and join the conversation by following @McDonalds, visiting McDonalds.com and @McDonalds_SoCal
