McDonald's Canada rolls out WiFi

May 18, 2011

More than 1,000 McDonald's Restaurants across Canada now offer free and unlimited WiFi.

Whether using a smartphone, laptop or tablet, customers can catch up on emails, browse the Web and stay connected while at the restaurants.

"Providing value and convenience is what we're all about and we're thrilled to add free WiFi as we look to continually enhance our customers' restaurant experience," said Joel Yashinsky, vice president of marketing for McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Limited. "With the summer season and busy traveling months around the corner, free Internet connectivity, along with quality food and great value, will help make our restaurants convenient and family-friendly destinations for people on-the-go."

By month's end, more than 90 percent of the company's 1,400 plus locations nationally will be enabled with the new service, making McDonald's Restaurants of Canada one of the country's largest providers of free WiFi.

McDonald's Canada offers this service with Bell, Canada's largest retail hotspot provider. No purchase is required to use the service. For added convenience, the new and unlimited WiFi service features a one-click entry point that doesn't require a username or password.
