Get excited! McDonald's is bringing back: Dale the assistant manager

What if we told you that you can catch a glimpse of Dale… starting next Thursday! At the Elora location only!

Remember McPizza?

Remember the Cherry Pie?

Remember, albeit less fondly, the Arch Deluxe?

You'd better believe we all do.

Remember Dale?

No?

Dale W. Kroevel?

Former assistant manager at our Fergus location from 1988–2002?

Wellllll, Dale left us after a good run with the company, because of a combination of overall life stresses and belt-tightening at corporate. The exact details aren't that exciting and aren't that important.

What's important is he's back, baby!

Is this new offer, of Dale being somewhere in McDonald's the next time you visit, mouthwatering? Well what if we told you that you can catch a glimpse of Dale… starting next Thursday!

At the Elora location only, though Dale may visit other locations/head office if he is eventually promoted to manager, for meetings and other functions.

Dale doesn't live in Elora — he actually lives in nearby Macton, but he's. Willing. To. Commute.

And he's starting out part-time so the stress doesn't get to him!

You've gotta love this guy!

Sorry, wait, I mean "We're lovin' him!" That ties in better with the whole McDonald's thing.

The '90s were a real heyday(s) for the Golden Arches, and anything we can bring back from that time is a huge victory for everyone.

We're happy to have Dale's "secret sauce" of management skills back with us.

Now you might be asking, what do we say to those who contend that we just haven't had an exciting new product to introduce in a while, and so we're spinning the return of an average (sorry, Dale) employee just to have something to hype up?

Well here's what we say: if you've got it, flaunt it!

And if you don't have it, flaunt it anyway!

Again, sorry Dale, really sorry.
