McDonald's Gets Good News (And It's Good for Customers, Too)
McDonald's is a giant in the fast food industry, but it's not like it was when the chain launched back in 1940. According to the McDonald's Corporation, the restaurant chain was founded in 1940 when "Dick and Mac McDonald open McDonald's Bar-BQ restaurant on Fourteenth and E streets" in San Bernardino, CA. From the 1950s, McDonald's had their famous "golden arches" design. "The McDonald brothers insisted that their architect design an attention catching building that would highlight their Speedee Service System," the company states on their website. Today, McDonald's has lots of competition from not only fast food chains but also other chains, such as casual restaurants, sub shops and sandwich shops. But, one move they recently made is turning out to be a smart one. McDonald's relaunched its popular Snack Wrap on July 10, and it's paying off, literally. According to Placer data information provided to Restaurant Dive, the fast food chain has enjoyed a double-digit growth following Snack Wrap relaunch of the Snack Wrap. That's good news for McDonald's and also for customers who want them to keep the Snack Wrap around. "Visits were up 15% on July 10 compared to the year-to-date average and 11% compared to the year-to-date weekday average," Restaurant Dive reports. "On July 11, visits increased 22.3% compared to the year-to-date average, and 7% for the year-to-date respective weekday average." That's an extra good showing, because it's bigger than the kick off of last summer's $5 Meal Deal promotion, R.J. Hottovy, head of analytical research at Placer, told Restaurant Dive in an email. "That value deal helped boost same-store sales by 0.3% during Q3 2024," the publication added. Hottovy told Restaurant Dive that "consumers responded favorably to the return of McDonald's Snack Wrap" according to their research, "indicating a meaningful lift in daily visits during the first three days of the relaunch compared to year-to-date averages." Hottovy added, "The Snack Wrap's successful comeback is the latest example of a revived product finding success, reinforcing the power of nostalgia in today's QSR limited-time offers."McDonald's Gets Good News (And It's Good for Customers, Too) first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 17, 2025 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

The Snack Wrap is so popular that some McDonald's ran out of lettuce
McDonald's re-introduced Snack Wrap is proving so popular that some restaurants were running out of lettuce. The menu item made its return on July 10, after being cancelled nine years ago. The return of the Snack Wrap is proving to be even more of a big deal than McDonald's was hoping for. The Wall Street Journal reports some locations of the fast-food chain have been running low on lettuce and other toppings since the customer favorite made its return. McDonald's tells Fortune that the shortages were temporary and have been resolved. The Snack Wrap made its return on July 10 after a nine-year absence. (Franchise owners told corporate that the item took workers too long to make, cutting efficiencies. Some stores defied the menu item's cancellation, selling them up until 2020, but by that point, they were completely gone.) While there have been plenty of consumer petitions to bring it back, the company has resisted until this year. On the day the Snack Wrap returned, reports visits to McDonald's locations were 11.4% higher than the usual average on that day of the week. The traffic surges continued for several days. McDonald's might have the OG Snack Wrap, but it's hardly the only restaurant to offer one these days. Wendy's began offering a version of the treat in 2023. The surge in demand for the Snack Wrap brings to mind the 2019 introduction of a chicken sandwich from Popeye's. The chain had what it thought was a two-month supply of chicken sandwich materials on hand when it launched the product. As social media chatter exploded, it exhausted those in just two weeks. After that, Popeyes took the unusual approach of encouraging people to bring their own buns to the stores and create the sandwich themselves, using chicken tenders.

McDonald's revamped Snack Wraps are winning over customers
Early data suggests the return of McDonald's Snack Wraps is winning over customers. After a nearly decadelong hiatus, the burger chain brought back the popular menu item earlier this month. So far, it looks like a hit. From July 10 to July 12, the first three days of the launch, McDonald's locations saw traffic jump by double digits each day compared to the year-to-date daily average, according to data. Evercore ISI estimates U.S. same-store sales have climbed 7% so far in the third quarter, according to a research note from Thursday. Some McDonald's U.S. stores even ran out of lettuce, although the company has since resolved the temporary shortage. "After nine years of pent up demand, fans showed up in full force to celebrate the return of the Snack Wrap. We've been blown away by the response, from packed restaurants with lines out the door to nonstop social buzz," McDonald's U.S. said in a statement to CNBC regarding the temporary lettuce shortage. The success of the permanent menu addition is good news for McDonald's, which has struggled with sluggish sales in recent months. In the first quarter, the company reported its largest quarterly U.S. same-store sales decline since 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic shuttered its dining rooms. McDonald's has had some marketing wins: its $5 meal deal and a Minecraft movie tie-in. But discounts can weigh on restaurant profitability, and limited-time promotions only provide a temporary boost to traffic. Most importantly for McDonald's, customers seem to enjoy the Snack Wraps, suggesting that the lift to McDonald's sales could outlast the social media buzz that fueled the initial traffic boost. A Numerator survey of more than 200 verified buyers of the McDonald's Snack Wrap found that 90% of respondents would buy the item again in the future. Those early Snack Wrap buyers are loyal McDonald's customers. Numerator found that the survey's average respondent has visited the chain 56 times so far this year. The typical McDonald's diner has only frequented one of its restaurants 25 times during the same period, according to Numerator. In addition to lettuce, shredded cheese and sauce, McDonald's revived snack wraps are made with one of the chain's McCrispy Strips, which launched nationwide in May. The wraps, which sell for $2.99 each, come in two flavors: spicy and ranch. More than two thirds of Numerator survey respondents bought just the ranch snack wrap, 20% purchased the spicy version, and 12% went for both. The company is expected to report its earnings for the second quarter on Aug. 6. The report will not include the effect of the snack wraps, which rolled out nationwide after the quarter ended.
