McDonald’s is preparing to launch a new value deal next week, but it will only be available for a limited time.
The new meal comes as the world’s largest hamburger chain, based in Chicago, aims to combat declines in customer spending due to rising costs.
The $5 promotion will be available starting on June 25 and includes four items:
- A McChicken or McDouble
- Four-piece chicken nuggets
- Small fries
- Small drink
It is expected to be available for about a month nationwide, according to multiple reports.
McDonald’s much-hyped ‘$5 meal’ will be available for 30 days only, then it’s back to $18 Big Macs. HEADLINE HEALTH rates this promotion a mere gimmick.
“We heard our fans loud and clear – they’re looking for even more great value from us, and this summer that’s exactly what they’ll get,” Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said in a statement.
“Value has always been part of our DNA. We’re focused on living up to that legacy and offering delicious, affordable options customers can enjoy any time they walk through our doors, go through our drive thru or place an order through our app.”
In addition to the $5 meal deal, the company noted franchisees across the U.S. are offering their own specials, including some like “buy one get one for $1 breakfast sandwiches.”
“Affordable prices and creating memorable moments are what McDonald’s is all about,” John Palmaccio, a McDonald’s owner and operator, said in a statement. “As small business owners, it’s our responsibility to deliver great value to our local communities when they need it most.
The $5 Meal Deal is the perfect complement to the everyday local deals customers can find in store and on the app, like the 25 percent off any purchase of $10 or more deal that I’m offering at my restaurants in Savannah, Georgia.”
Erlinger previously said he hopes customers will find the company’s upcoming deals “meaningful” …
