McDonald\u2019s president reveals $5 meal deal could stick around longer than planned McDonald’sMcDonald\u2019s has given a surprising update regarding their $5 meal deal, announcing that it could experience a longer run on menus, but there\u2019s a catch. It\u2019s safe to say that 2024 has been the year of meal deals. With fast food prices skyrocketing, more and more companies have decided to present people with value offerings to coax them back in. Pizza Hut, Wendy\u2019s, Popeyes, and Burger King all brought out their own versions McDonald\u2019s was among these fast food giants and released their own value meal, with Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald\u2019s USA commenting: \u201cWe heard our fans loud and clear \u2013 they\u2019re looking for even more great value from us, and this summer that\u2019s exactly what they\u2019ll get. Now, according to an interview with the Today Show, Erlinger revealed that it might actually be sticking around for longer than was initially planned. The interviewers asked about the four week stint that the product was initially set to make, and questioned why it wasn\u2019t sticking around for longer, to which he replied: \u201cWe are already seeing some franchisees are gonna vote this through.\u201d However, the length of the $5 McDonald\u2019s meal deal will depend on individual location. Erlinger revealed that franchisees in Denver, Dallas, Phoenix, and Las Vegas have already voted to extend the product\u2019s lifespan. So, its fate is dependent on whether or not franchisees decide that it\u2019s worth keeping around. This isn\u2019t the only value offering McDonald\u2019s has brought out this year, as the chain also announced they were giving away free fries for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
