RIESTER is honored to be associated with the Egg McMuffin which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Herb Peterson was the owner of McDonald’s restaurants on California’s Central Coast where he created the iconic breakfast sandwich for McDonald’s.

Today Herb’s son David, a RIESTER client, continues to operate McDonald’s restaurants in Santa Barbara and Goleta. Every year he honors his father with the annual Herb Peterson Day. On January 5th, Herb Peterson’s birthday, customers can buy Egg McMuffins for a dollar at McDonald’s restaurants throughout the Central Coast.

Herb Peterson not only created a breakfast sandwich, he revolutionized the American breakfast menu. McDonald’s was the first quick service restaurant to offer breakfast and they remain the leader in the category today.

The next time you enjoy an Egg McMuffin think of Herb Peterson, an American breakfast and business pioneer.

McDonald’s touts locally grown goodness.

At McDonald’s in Idaho, the french fries aren’t just made from any potatoes. They’re made from potatoes grown locally – in the nutrient-rich fields surrounding the communities that McDonald’s customers call home. In other words, the best fries in the world are made with the best potatoes in the world. At RIESTER, we worked with our client, the Southern Idaho McDonald’s Advertising Co-op, to highlight this point of difference…and point of pride. Our efforts have included in-store marketing, outdoor, and public relations throughout the region.
