Hey Everyone!
Did you know that McDonald's is opening a concept called CosMc's? CosMc's is McDonald’s answer to Starbucks, with a range of modern, customizable drinks, merging the familiar McDonald's touch with new-age café vibes. CosMc’s is debuting in Bolingbrook, Illinois. It's a noticeable shift for a brand deeply rooted in fast food.
The CosMc's menu invites personalization, much like the guy in front of you ordering a Grande Iced Half-Caff Ristretto Quad Shot, Two Pumps of Classic Syrup, One Pump of Vanilla, Light Ice, Extra Cream, in a Venti Cup at Starbucks. CosMc’s has Sour Cherry Energy Slush, S'mores Cold Brew, with the option to add a personal twist to your drink with extras like popping boba or flavor shots. It also has food options like Spicy Queso Sandwiches and a Creamy Avocado Tomatillo. CosMc's has no dining rooms, and features digital ordering and a drive-thru, jumping on the trend of today's preference for quick, convenient service, combined with quality offerings.
Mixing their fast-food heritage with an evolving café landscape, McDonald’s is stepping into uncharted waters. Will they make a dent in Starbucks’s market share? Only time will tell.
