[KARAH RUCKER]
FINALLY THIS MORNING – AS MCDONALD’S IS TRYING TO LURE BACK CUSTOMERS CONCERNED OVER RECENT PRICE HIKES – IT’S HOPING A NEW ADDITION TO THE MENU MIGHT HELP – ONE INSPIRED BY OUR GRANDMOTHERS.
INTRODUCING THE GRANDMA MCFLURRY!
THE FAST-FOOD CHAIN’S LIMITED EDITION SWEET TREAT IS A MIX OF SYRUP, VANILLA ICE CREAM AND CANDY PIECES – WHAT MCDONALD’S SAYS ARE “JUST LIKE GRANDMA’S FAVORITE TREAT THAT SHE HID IN HER PURSE.”
THE DESSERT IS JUST ONE NEW IDEA AS the fast food giant has been losing low-income customers — who are CHOOSING TO EAT AT HOME.
EARLIER THIS WEEK, REPORTS SAY MCDONALD’S WILL BE RELEASING A 5 DOLLAR VALUE MEAL AS PART OF THE COMPANY’S PLANS TO bring back customers who have felt the recent price hikes.
THOUGH — ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY FROM FINANCE BUZZ — PRICES HAVE BEEN ON THE RISE FOR A WHILE AT MCDONALD’S — WITH THE PRICE OF A MCDOUBLE INCREASING 168 PERCENT OVER THE PAST DECADE.
THE FAST FOOD CHAIN NOW HOPING LOST CUSTOMERS WILL RETURN WITH THESE NEW ADDITIONS.
