The first CosMc’s location opened in Illinois at the end of 2023. The chain then expanded to five locations, four of which are in Texas.
As CBS News reported, CosMc’s was meant to be a competitor to Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts. It provided customized beverages that traditional McDonald’s had more difficulty creating.
McDonald’s will add some of the new drinks from CosMc’s to its menu, but didn’t specify which ones at this time.
In addition to beverages, CosMc’s also sells snacks, including pretzel bites, and sandwiches, including a spicy queso sandwich.
