WNBA star Angel Reese scored her own special at McDonald's.
According to USA Today, McDonald's will begin offering the "Angel Reese Special" on February 10, which will include a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese topped with a new BBQ sauce, French fries, and a drink.
The move makes Reese the first female athlete to nab a national meal collaboration with McDonald's.
"McDonald’s has always been a big part of my life, from grabbing a McChicken Sandwich as a kid to being named a McDonald’s All American in 2020," Reese said in a statement. "It’s really a dream come true to be the first-ever female athlete to have my own meal and be a part of McDonald’s amazing basketball legacy. I hope the Angel Reese Special inspires young athletes everywhere to never give up on pursuing their dreams.
The Angel Reese special features McDonald's new smoky Bold BBQ sauce, which blends "sweet, savory and a touch of spice," the fast food giant said in a statement.
Jennifer "JJ" Healan, the vice president of marketing, brand content, and culture at McDonald's, said working with Reese continues the "real connection between McDonald’s and basketball fans."
“We want to continue to fuel their love for the game and support athletes on and off the court," Healan said. "We’re excited to bring our legacy with basketball culture to a new generation, and partnering with Angel is only the beginning.”
