McDonald's Announces Big Change to 'McValue Meal Deal' With New Item
Earlier this week McDonald's announced its partnership with Krispy Kreme was coming to an end just a few months after its started - with the removal of the doughnut chain's offerings set for July 2.
“We were excited and pleased to partner with Krispy Kreme,” Alyssa Buetikofer, McDonald’s USA’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer said in a statement at the time. “We had strong collaboration with Krispy Kreme and they delivered a great, high-quality product for us, and while the partnership met our expectations for McDonald’s and Owner/Operators, this needed to be a profitable business model for Krispy Kreme as well.”
Just a few days after the disappointing news, McDonald's had some good news its customers. The Daily Double, a fan-favorite burger offered in local markets like Chicago, Miami, and Seattle, is officially available nationwide through the end of 2025.
The offering made with two 100% beef patties and topped with American cheese, shredded lettuce, slivered onions, mayo and two juicy slices of tomato, will also sit center stage as the new entree option for the McValue Meal Deal bundle starting on July 22. The bundle includes the customer's choice of select entrees plus a 4-piece chicken nuggets, small fries and a small soft drink.
"McValue is all about flexibility and giving you even more ways to save on the food you love. So whether you keep it classic with a McChicken® or McDouble® Meal Deal, or decide to dial up your order with the Daily Double...you're getting more, for less," the company said in a statement. "The best part? Fans will continue to find a $5 Meal Deal option at restaurants across the country."
