McDonald’s enthusiasts have a new meal deal to anticipate this summer.
On Thursday, the fast food chain made an announcement that customers can purchase the $5 Meal Deal at participating restaurants starting June 25. This move is an attempt to offer fans a more affordable meal option, especially after facing criticism over the surge in their prices in recent years.
In a recent statement, Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald’s USA, acknowledged the feedback from their customers that they desire more value from the fast-food giant. He stated that McDonald’s is committed to delivering just that this summer.
Erlinger emphasized that providing value has been a fundamental principle for their company since its inception. Their team is committed to maintaining this legacy and delivering scrumptious yet reasonably priced menu items that customers can relish at any time of the day. Erlinger stated that whether customers choose to dine-in, drive-thru, or order via their app, they are dedicated to providing an enjoyable experience and exceptional value.
What’s included in the $5 Meal Deal?
The Mc Donald’s meal deal offers four options for you to choose from. You can select either a McDouble or McChicken, 4 piece Chicken McNuggets, as well as small fries and a small soft drink to complete your meal.
McDonald’s is offering a great deal for its App users. With a minimum purchase of $1, McDonald’s customers can avail themselves of a free medium fries on “Free Fries Friday.” This offer is available across the country until the end of the year.
Local deals are being offered by franchises across the nation. One example is in Memphis, Tennessee where customers can take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-for-$1 breakfast sandwich offer. Meanwhile, in Western New York, patrons can indulge in a McChicken and McDouble mix-and-match deal for just $3.99.
McDonald’s leaders have put emphasis on affordability
In earlier earnings calls, Chris Kempczinski, the CEO of McDonald’s, emphasized the significance of affordability for their customers.
According to Kempczinski, customers are becoming increasingly selective with their spending. This is due to the higher prices they face in their daily expenses, which is putting additional strain on the industry. As a result, it is crucial for the company to prioritize affordability for their customers to stay ahead of the competition.
