Local general manager receives free car for 39 years of hard work

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Christmas is coming a bit early to one lucky local McDonald’s general manager. 

Today, the owner of all of the local McDonald’s restaurants gave away a brand new, bright red 2020 Nissan Versa to one general manager. The company hosted a year-long contest for the giveaway for the managers of their 19 locations to meet a certain sales goal. 

The winner of the vehicle was manager Brenda Matlock, who had been at her McDonald’s location for 39 years.

Eleven managers met this goal to be entered into the raffle. The family wanted to give back to their employees, especially for the hard work they have put in during the pandemic. 

“It’s awesome because our world is always changing, McDonald’s is evolving and you know we get new products, new ways of doing things. So to see somebody who can go almost four decades and put up with all the changes, cause I mean there’s a lot to put up with. And just the different people and stuff over the years, but she’s never wavered. I mean she is just an awesome employee and we are so fortunate that she’s still with us,” said owner and operator Alex Burrell. 

Matlock also said she was so fortunate to receive a gift and that the McDonald’s team is like family to her.
