If you’re a fan of McDonald’s and enjoy venturing into the cosmos of culinary delights, then the grand opening of CosMc’s is an event you won’t want to miss. CosMc’s is McDonald’s new spinoff restaurant concept that promises to take your taste buds on an otherworldly journey. In this article, we’ll give you an overview of CosMc’s, including its unique menu items, the concept behind it, and why this revelation is worth the excitement.
What is CosMc’s?
CosMc’s is a new restaurant concept from McDonald’s that will focus on customized coffee and other drinks that are too complicated for McDonald’s restaurants to create.
During an investor presentation on December 6, 2023, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said that the idea for CosMc’s stemmed from the growing demand for an “afternoon beverage pick-me-up occasion.” According to CBS News, this is a $100 billion market where McDonald’s currently isn’t a strong presence. The fast food giant hopes that CosMc’s will eventually become a strong rival of Starbucks and Dunkin’ in that segment of the fast food industry.
Kempczinski described CosMc’s concept as “what would happen if a McDonald’s character from the 1980s that was part alien, part surfer, part robot” opened a restaurant in 2023.
CosMc’s menu is a dynamic and exciting fusion of innovative beverages and classic McDonald’s favorites. Below is a breakdown of its offering at launch.
