CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO – On October 7, team members from locally-owned McDonald’s restaurants came together in communities across the region to honor 49 police departments with a surprise delivery.
Every October, local McDonald’s restaurants across the nation invite law enforcement officers and community members together in their restaurants for the nationally celebrated Coffee with a Cop day. This year, social distancing measures and closed lobbies prevented the gathering, so in lieu of a traditional event, restaurants delivered a mix of coffee, breakfast, or coupons straight to local law enforcement officers.
“Nothing could stop us from showing our appreciation for the sacrifices our officers make for our community,” said local McDonald’s Owner/Operator Shannon Davis.
Davis owns and operates 17 McDonald’s restaurants in the Southeast Missouri area. He partnered with other local McDonald’s Owner/Operators to deliver to law enforcement agencies including Cape County Sherriff’s Department, Cape Girardeau Police Department, Dexter Police Department, Poplar Bluff Police Department, and many more.
