In Canada, the McDonald’s website states that the new sandwich is the restaurant’s “response to guests’ desire for a satiating burger with more of the great-tasting, quality ingredients fans of McDonald’s love.”
Kempczinski says they will see how the rollout develops before deciding on whether to launch it in other countries, including the United States.
McDonald’s takes a hit
The fast food giant missed sales expectations in the first quarter of 2024, while its global sales for the second quarter registered a drop for the first time in more than three years. In a bid to win back customers, they offered a $5 meal deal this summer, to rousing success. The company says they are working to extend the offer beyond August.
