Banbridge McDonald’s is proud to be supporting the local community by providing sponsorship to Banbridge Rugby Junior club which will go towards the development of the club. After significant investment from local franchisee John McCollum, the McDonald’s restaurant in Banbridge opened in September creating 100 new jobs for the local area. Digital innovation is at the heart of the new restaurant with self-order kiosks to improve the speed and ease of ordering as well as giving people more time to consider their food and drink choices. Table service is also available in the restaurant, which aims to take the stress out of finding somewhere to sit when carrying food, potentially with children, bags and buggies. Commenting on the partnership with Banbridge Rugby Club Franchisee John McCollum said, “As a local businessman I’m keen to ensure steady investment in the area and since the restaurant has opened we have been immersing ourselves in the local community. Our sponsorship of Banbridge Rugby Club and other community groups is part of this and we look forward to supporting the club over the coming years and nurturing young talent to make sure they reach their full potential.” www.rugbyclub.biz 57
