McDonald’s flips their Golden Arches for International Women’s Day

McDonald’s is celebrating International Women’s Day by flipping their Golden Arches upside down to become a W.  In a statement on their official Twitter page they state :

“Today, we flip our Golden Arches to celebrate the women who have chosen McDonald’s to be a part of their story, like the Williams family. In the U.S. we’re proud to share that 6 out of 10 restaurant managers are women. ”

The giant arches have been physically flipped at just one California restaurant. On Thursday, International Women’s Day, upside-down arches will replace rightside-up arches across McDonald’s digital channels.

Lewis said McDonald’s is flipping its logo “in honor of the extraordinary accomplishments of women everywhere.”

The restaurant chain will also mark the occasion at another 100 US locations, where McDonald’s (MCD) employees will wear special hats and shirts.

Time will tell if any of the Houston Franchises will flip their Golden Arches for International Women’s Day but kuddos to McDonald’s!
