Now the news is in the open and they started to trial in the first location Bolingbrook, Illinois. It\u2019s opening today! The concept is based on CosMc, a McDonald\u2019s-craving space alien, who first appeared as a character in the late 80\u2019s and early 90\u2019s promotional advertisements. CosMc\u2019s is a new small-format, beverage-led concept that\u2019s inspired by nostalgia and powered by a menu of bold, refreshing beverages and tasty treats.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1 minute read<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What we know about CosMc\u2019s so far<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As part of a limited test, the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cosmcs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CosMc\u2019s <\/a>location opened today in Bolingbrook, Illinois, with a handful of additional outposts planned in the coming months. CosMc\u2019s seamlessly blends brand-new, otherworldly beverage creations with a small lineup of food, including a select few McDonald\u2019s favourites. CosMc\u2019s menu is rooted in beverage exploration, with bold and unexpected flavor combinations, vibrant colors and functional boosts. A range of specialty lemonades and teas, indulgent blended beverages and cold coffee \u2013 think Sour Cherry Energy Slush, Tropical Spiceade and S\u2019mores Cold Brew. Make it yours with customizations at every turn: popping boba, flavor syrups, energy or Vitamin C shots, and so much more.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A small lineup of food<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On the food front, McDonald\u2019s indicates that we can expect savory offerings including a Spicy Queso Sandwich, Savory Hash Brown Bites and Pretzel Bites served with dipping sauces. On the sweet side, there&#8217;s a Blueberry Lemon Cookie Sundae and Caramel Fudge Brownies, to name a few. And of course there are a few McDonald\u2019s classics on the menu.<\/p>\n<p>The McDonald\u2019s company indicates that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@uscosmcs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CosMc\u2019s<\/a> also has its own uniquely seamless digital and Drive Thru experience. Guests are invited to take a break from earthly stressors and use the dynamic menu boards and cashless payment devices to breeze through the ordering and payment process, allowing for guided exploration and customization along the way. Drive Thru pickup windows are assigned once your order is ready. They say that they\u2019re exploring how to solve the 3pm slump by lifting humans up with every sip.<\/p>\n<p>Although McDonald\u2019s already has the McCaf\u00e9 coffee brand, which provides some beverage options within its stores, we think that CosMc\u2019s is expected to focus more on its drinks menu with their unique new offerings and thus being more competitive with for example Starbucks. By the end of 2024, they plan to open approximately 10 CosMc\u2019s pilot locations.<\/p>\n<p><em>More inspiration from McDonald\u2019s at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/?s=McDonald%27s&amp;x=0&amp;y=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>website<\/u>. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August of this year we read about the first rumours that McDonald\u2019s would introduce a new spin off called CosMc\u2019s.
