McDonald's to launch the McValue national menu as it looks for a boost from diners and investors
Published On Jan 6, 2025, 1:52 PM
McDonald's is launching a new value menu platform called 'McValue' starting January 7, 2025. This initiative comes after a year of poor sales performance and a food safety scare. The McValue menu includes affordable meal options like a $5 meal deal and a buy-one-get-one-for-$1 offer, aiming to attract cost-conscious customers and improve foot traffic. Analysts see this as a strategy to drive customer transactions, although it's not expected to significantly boost profits in the short term. The launch marks the first national value menu since 2018, reflecting McDonald's desire to regain its competitive edge in a market where rivals already offer similar value deals.

The introduction of the McValue menu is likely to drive transaction volumes at McDonald's locations, as consumers seek affordable dining options. This could alleviate some sales pressures and improve foot traffic, ultimately benefiting the company's financial performance in the near term. However, the impact on overall profitability might be limited due to the lower price point.
