# QSR and Restaurant Chain Balloon Programs
## Overview
Creative Balloons Manufacturing Inc. supplies custom printed balloon programs to multi-unit QSR and restaurant chains. CB works with brand marketing managers, marketing directors, promotional procurement teams, and distribution partners at chains typically operating 500 or more locations.
Programs are built for centralized marketing decisions with fulfillment running through established distribution partners — one purchase order, one ship-to address, one invoice per program cycle.
CB has been a supplier to QSR chains for over 50 years, including a long-standing approved vendor relationship with McDonald's Corporation.
