McDonald’s has announced its new restaurant idea, CosMc’s, which would operate in the same market section as Starbucks.
Its pilot will open this month in a part of Chicago, with a plan to be in about ten locations by the end of 2024. The fast-food chain also plans to open about 10,000 McDonald’s restaurants globally by 2027, with many of those in China.
The first CosMc’s is due to open in Illinois, U.S. later this week, with about 10 more to open in Texas in 2024.
The expansion would boost the number of stores to about 50,000.
