- McDonald's and its U.S. franchisees agreed to price eight popular combo meals 15% lower than if items were purchased separately.
- The company pledged financial backing to franchisees who implement these price cuts to reinforce affordability.
- Later this year, $5 breakfast meals and $8 Big Mac and McNugget combos will be launched as Extra Value Meals.
- McDonald's U.S. President clarified that $18 Big Mac meals are rare exceptions while average prices rose by 21% since 2019.
I can tell you that it frustrates and worries me, and many of our franchisees, when I hear about an $18 Big Mac meal being sold – even if it was at one location in the U.S. out of more than 13,700.— Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald's USA, commented on the reports of high prices for Big Mac meals.
