Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, put out a letter citing “viral social posts and poorly sourced reports that McDonald’s has raised prices significantly beyond inflationary rates.”.
The average price of a Big Mac
in the U.S. was $4.39 in 2019, Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, via press release.
Despite a global pandemic and historic
rises in supply chain costs, wages and other
inflationary pressures in the years that
followed, the average cost is now $5.29.
That’s an increase of 21% (not 100%), Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, via press release.
Other McDonald's franchisees are
offering deals such as "buy one, get one" breakfast sandwiches to entice customers.
Affordable prices and creating
memorable moments are what
McDonald’s is all about. , John Palmaccio, a McDonald’s owner and chair of the
