McDonald's closes spin-off restaurants after less-than two-year test run
McDonald's has announced the closure of its CosMc's chain less than two years after the first location opened. Starting in late June, the five standalone CosMc's locations will shutter for good. The CosMc's app will be discontinued as well. The first CosMc's location opened in Illinois in December 2023. In launching CosMc's, the company was looking to compete with chains like Starbucks and Dunkin', offering customized drinks that traditional McDonald's locations don't provide. CosMc's offered menu items like an Iced French Toast Galaxy Latte, Churro Cold Brew, and Cookie Butter McPops. The five CosMc's locations that will close are located at: 285 N. Weber Road, Bolingbrook, Illinois 5341 McPherson Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas 12360 FM 1957, San Antonio, Texas 8726 Potranco Road, San Antonio, Texas 861 W. Stacy Road, Allen, Texas But it's not all bad news for fans of the chain's beverage-focused spinoff. CosMc's-inspired flavors will land at McDonald's restaurants across the country as part of a U.S. beverage test, the company announced. 'The main goal of the CosMc's test was to create a launchpad for learning for the McDonald's System – and the insights we've gathered have given us a whole new way to get closer to our fans,' the company announced in a press release. Earlier this week, McDonald's announced a change to its restaurants nationwide. A company spokesperson told The Independent that a 'vast majority" of U.S. locations will remain open until midnight or later starting this summer. Restaurants in "non-traditional locations" like airports and shopping malls are unlikely to follow suit, but 'will be back open during normal breakfast hours,' the company shared. Most of the fast food chain's signature menu items will be available during the extended hours, though individual franchisees will make those decisions, the spokesperson said. McDonald's is celebrating the late-night hours with a May 24 giveaway. Merchandise and gift cards for free McCrispy Strips will be given to concert-goers in Los Angeles, New York City, and Detroit, the company told The Independent. McDonald's will have street teams in these cities handing out goodies to fans. That same day, McDonald's will also be giving away 1,000 virtual gift cards for free McCrispy Strips. To enter to win, fans should post an Instagram story with #DipforMcCrispyStripsGiveaway and tag @GoFooji.

McDonald's Is Discontinuing These Menu Items—but It's Not All Bad
McDonald's just announced a big change that'll impact several of its store locations. The news follows insights shared earlier this year by McDonald's CEO about plans to introduce CosMc's-inspired beverages to its 2023, McDonald's debuted a new spin-off restaurant focused on specialty beverages in Illinois. Although customers reported hours-long wait times, bribes, and what seemed like an endless line of cars, that didn't dampen the mood—fans were overall very excited to be at the world's very first CosMc's. Named after a long-forgotten mascot from McDonaldland, CosMc's opening signaled a new turn for the Golden Arches. With a vibrant menu that featured several first-of-their-kind drinks, like the Churro Cold Brew Frappé, CosMc's debut solidified McDonald's position as a worthwhile competitor to beverage giants like Starbucks and Dunkin'. But now, that's all about to change. McDonald's has announced it will be closing all five of its CosMc's locations—but there is a silver lining to all this. According to a statement by McDonald's, CosMc's locations will start closing on a rolling basis beginning late June, and it will also discontinue service on the CosMc's app. With an extensive beverage menu that ranges from iced tea to coffee, lemonade, smoothies, and frappés, CosMc's offerings are bold, eclectic, and, to no surprise, quickly became fan favorites. If you aren't able to try any of its innovative drinks like the Popping Pear Slush, a prickly pear-flavored slushie topped with popping candy, before it closes, there is some good news. Although CosMc's stores are closing, McDonald's said that the concept behind CosMc's was as a "launchpad for learning" that was developed to "test new, bold flavors" and explore McDonald's potential in the specialty beverages sector. "Building on the insights gained from the pilot standalone locations," the announcement reads. "CosMc's-inspired flavors will be landing at McDonald's as part of the upcoming US beverage test, seamlessly blending out of this world tastes into the McDonald's experience." The news confirms what McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski had revealed during the fast food giant's 2025 Q1 Earnings Call earlier this year, when Kempczinski briefly mentioned that McDonald's will be expanding its beverage menu. It's hard to tell whether McDonald's will roll out CosMc's beverages one-to-one in its stores, but the announcement signals a new beginning for the Golden Arches. Here's hoping we'll soon be able to grab otherworldly sips like the Iced French Toast Galaxy Latte alongside the new McCrispy Strips, all from one place.

McDonald's to Add Select CosMc's Exclusives to Regular Menus This Year
McDonald's fans are "so excited" about the latest update regarding its spinoff, CosMc's. During a Q1 earnings call on Tuesday, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski touched upon several hot topics, so to speak, including "interesting learnings" the company gained from the rollout of its beverage-forward concept. While Kempczinski didn't get into all of the fine details, he did say that the findings have influenced McDonald's overall decision-making and that sometime later this year, it would be working with franchisees to bring some of the beverage recipes that were previously exclusive to CosMc's to its standard menus. Most of the menu-specifics–like what drinks are launching nationwide and for how long–are still forthcoming as McDonald's continues to "test, learn, and position itself for growth" in the space.

Customers also hope its Churro Cold Brew Frappe, Iced French Toast Galaxy Latte and Tropical Spiceade are among the first to make a splash at McDonald's. "I NEED ALL OF THEM," one more quipped. Though many of the details of the expected beverage menu overhaul are unclear, Kempczinski said McDonald's is "committed to going after beverages." "It's part of why we set up beverages as one of our key three category structures—just because of the opportunity that we saw there," the exec added. Next:
