2023 40 Under 40 Honoree: Matthew Alamo (37)
“Your hometown McDonald’s means something special. I’m proud of my restaurants because I can be engaged with my employees, my customers and also my community — they’re all one in the same.”
Matthew Alamo
Owner/Operator, McDonald’s
Matthew Alamo, who owns 11 McDonald’s restaurants across southwestern Pennsylvania, says he has “ketchup in the veins.” He is committed to giving back to the communities his restaurants serve, just as McDonald’s has supported his own family over the years.
Alamo’s restaurants were the first in the area to adopt McDonald’s food donation program, in which leftover food is frozen and given to local food banks.
Alamo also gives back to local children by running a toy drive for the Ronald McDonald House every holiday season, and he supports local schools by hosting more McTeacher Nights than any other operator in the Pittsburgh area.
