McDonald's Australia announces huge menu news - confirming rumours that have circulated for weeks
Rumours of an exciting collaboration between fast food giant McDonald's Australia and shoe brand Crocs have been circulating on social media of late. And now, FEMAIL can exclusively confirm that the reports are indeed correct - and the new menu offering will be available this week. A McDonald's spokesperson confirmed the launch of a new Crocs Happy Meal featuring a range of ultra cute mini shoe keychain collectibles, which will be available from Thursday July 10. The new Happy Meals will include one of eight exclusive Macca's-inspired Crocs keychain designs. McDonald's Australia Marketing Director of Menu and Brand Amanda Nakad said: 'Get set to collect! The Happy Meal you've been waiting for is here.' The Macca's spokeswoman added that Crocs Happy Meals have already been a huge hit overseas, and that it was now Australia's turn to get in on the fun-size action. 'After a huge response to the Crocs Happy Meal in the US, we knew we had to bring the fun Down Under.' Each of the Crocs Happy Meal collectibles will come housed in a mini shoebox. They will also come with a sticker sheet of Jibbitz charms, so you can add unique personality to the keychain. 'Crocs are all about comfort and self-expression,' Amanda said. 'With eight bold designs, mini shoeboxes, and Jibbitz sticker sheets, this collab is the perfect mix of individuality and fun we know Aussie families will love.' The limited edition Crocs Happy Meal will only be available for a limited time, while stocks last. Rumours of the collaboration started circulating online following a TiKTok video shared by Aussie foodie, Nectro Vlangos, who posts under the handle @nectoriouspapi. Sharing an 11-second video that has now been viewed over 109,000 times, the teaser clip revealed that 'Crocs Keychains' would be 'coming soon' to Macca's. The food content creator correctly stated in the video's voice over that there were eight keychains in the new range, before adding that he 'wanted every single one of them'. The comments section quickly lit up with replies from excited Maccas and Crocs fans. 'Happy Meals every day till you have them all,' read one response.

'Omgggg neeeed,' said a third. Nectro also added an extra unconfirmed piece of intel in the comments section about an alternative way to get hold of the Crocs collectibles. 'Did you know you can actually buy them individually for $2?' he suggested. One Crocs fan responded saying they would happily stump up the cash to instantly buy the entire set of eight keychains outright. But an Aussie woman replied to this comment, pointing out that this wouldn't necessarily guarantee a complete set because it's a lucky dip style situation. The woman that the Crocs Happy Meal keychains come 'in a box', meaning 'you won't exactly know' if you get the ones you need to complete a set. The Crocs Happy Meal comes with a choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, nuggets or a grilled chicken wrap. It can be paired with apple slices or fries and a small drink - all served in a classic Happy Meal box.

McDonald's Australia plans 30 to 50 new store openings
McDonald's Australia is set to expand its footprint with between 30 and 50 new stores in the country in the 12-month period to July 2026, as reported by quoting NewsWire. McDonald's Australia CEO Joe Chiczewski expressed his commitment to investing: 'I would expect over the next 12 months that we would open somewhere between 30 and 50 restaurants. We're absolutely committed to continuing to invest in the Aussie community.' Chiczewski highlighted the city of Perth as a key area for potential new restaurant openings. Alongside the expansion, he announced plans for menu innovations over the next year, describing them as 'choiceful innovation.' McDonald's Australia has introduced a price freeze on select menu items for 12 months to attract cost-conscious customers. The McSmart Meal, which includes two hamburgers, fries and a drink for under A$7 ($4.61), will maintain its price for twelve months. Prices on items on the Loose Change menu, which have been set at A$4 or below, will also remain unchanged. Sausage McMuffins will be sold for A$4, hamburgers will remain at A$2, frozen Cokes at A$1 and soft serve ice creams at 50 cents. Chiczewski added: 'Like many Australian businesses, we've experienced rising costs over the past five years, driven by inflation and other economic factors. And yes, that means some of our menu prices have increased - we're not denying this. 'However, our focus and commitment remain unchanged - keeping our menu as accessible and affordable as possible for our customers. 'Our price promise on the McSmart Meal and Loose Change Menu is at the core of this commitment and ensures we can keep serving up Macca's favourites for less.' In August 2024, McDonald's Australia expanded its Quarter Pounder range with the addition of two new versions of the burger.
