COMMUNITY INVOLMENT
Mcdok is a family owned and operated organization who has been in Oklahoma for 30 years spanning two generations! Kathy Lopez-Thorley started working at McDonald’s in 1977 as a crew person. As she learned about the career opportunities, her husband, Rick Thorley, also became involved with McDonald’s. They later became franchisees in Ada, Oklahoma where they have grown their business.
As they created the foundation for their business, the Thorley’s two oldest children and their spouses, Ryan and Amanda Thorley and Gary and Jenifer Mornhinweg, joined their organization. With 21 restaurants across southern Oklahoma, the family and Mcdok is committed to bringing you as a customer, an employee or a community partner the best experience at McDonald’s.
