McDonald's Introduces CosMc's: Locations, Menu, and Opening

McDonald's is launching a new chain called CosMc's that will focus on coffee and other drinks, aiming to challenge Starbucks and Dunkin'. The first location will open in Illinois this month, with plans for additional restaurants in 2024. The move is driven by the growing demand for afternoon beverages, a market where McDonald's currently has a weak presence. CosMc's will offer customizable drinks, including options like churro frappes and tumeric-spiced lattes, as well as non-coffee beverages. The chain will also feature sweet and savory treats. McDonald's plans to open 10,000 new stores worldwide by 2027, expecting significant growth in the coming years.
