(Monaca, Pa.) Jo Galvan, Manager of the McDonald’s Restaurant in Monaca, has won a Ray Kroc Award, an accolade that recognizes the top performing McDonald’s Restaurant Managers globally.
Galvan is one of just 390 McDonald’s Restaurant Managers around the world (representing the top 1% percent of restaurant managers) to receive the honor, which includes a cash prize and a trophy.
Galvan, who has worked for McDonald’s for 23 years, was presented with her award during a recent celebration hosted by Tri-County Management. Owned by Paul Sweeney and his daughter Meghan, the company is a three-generation family business and McDonald’s franchise organization for more than 55 years. Based in Cranberry Township, the company owns and operates 19 local McDonald’s restaurants. Each location employs more than 50 local residents.
Local McDonald’s Manager Receives Prestigious Global Award
McDonald’s independent franchisees and regional management nominate restaurant managers for the Ray Kroc Awards to recognize those who have led their team to outstanding business performance, reflect the culture and values of the McDonald’s System, and reinforce McDonald’s purpose to feed and foster communities.
Meghan Sweeney said: “Jo Galvan’s remarkable accomplishments in her first two years as a General Manager make her the best of the best. Her numbers are impressive, her team is effective and — most importantly – her customers are loyal and happy. We’re delighted that we are able to recognize Jo’s many successes with McDonald’s.”
McDonald’s is committed to creating employment opportunities for people of all ages and from all backgrounds, as well as boosting employability to help people gain the skills and experiences they need to progress in their careers. McDonald’s provides opportunities for progression and promoting from within; around 90% of restaurant management began their careers as crew members.
