McDonald's Launches Nationwide Breakfast Bagels, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

In a bid to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Egg McMuffin, McDonald's has launched breakfast bagel sandwiches nationwide, available in Bacon, Egg & Cheese and Steak, Egg & Cheese varieties, starting February 25. Alongside this expansion, the fast-food giant is promoting in-app discounts, including $1 Egg McMuffins and Sausage McMuffins on March 2, and a buy-one-get-one free offer from March 3 to March 30. The introduction of bagel sandwiches comes as McDonald's seeks to revitalize its breakfast offerings amidst competition and a recent sales dip following an E. coli outbreak. Additionally, McDonald's is expanding its partnership with Krispy Kreme, now offering doughnuts at select locations in New York City, which are expected to be available nationwide by the end of 2026. This strategic move aims to enhance breakfast sales, a crucial segment for the brand. McDonald's President emphasized that breakfast remains a cornerstone of the chain's identity and customer experience.
