McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said that CosMc's will serve the demand for an "afternoon beverage pick-me-up.".
The concept is "what would
happen if a McDonald's
character from the 1980s
that was part alien, part surfer,
part robot" opened a restaurant
today, Kempczinski said.
.
Drinks that will be offered include
"a churro frappe, a s'mores cold brew and
a tumeric-spiced latte," CBS News reports.
Non-coffee beverages, "sweet and savory treats" and Egg McMuffins will also be served.
The first CosMc's location opened in Bolingbrook, Illinois, on Dec.
7.
It was so busy that one man told CBS Chicago that
it took three hours for him to get a frappe.
10 more locations are slated
to open in Texas next year.
The company will study business results for at least
a year before deciding if it will expand further.
McDonald's, however, intends to open
10,000 more stores around the world by 2027

Increased menu pricing and delivery demand
saw same-store sales in the U.S. increase by 2.5%.
In international markets, sales fell

Despite this, McDonald's said the company's revenue
increased 5% to reach $6.17 billion, while net income went
up 7% to $1.93 billion, in-line with Wall Street estimates.
'The Independent' reports that Muslim-majority
markets like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East
have been boycotting McDonald's for months.
The boycotts started after a McDonald's franchise in
Israel announced in October that it would provide free
meals for Israeli troops amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the months since then, the company has tried to limit
the fallout by taking over all 225 McDonald's in the country
with the purchase of Alyonal Limited, its Israeli franchise.

We abhor violence of any kind and
