McDonald’s Is Closing Its CosMc’s Restaurants but Plans to Test Drinks the Chain ‘Inspired’
- McDonald's announced it will close all CosMc's standalone beverage-focused restaurants starting late June 2025 across multiple U.S. Locations.
- In December 2023, McDonald’s introduced CosMc’s, a compact store concept featuring customizable, boldly flavored beverages designed to attract afternoon customers and boost sales during slower periods.
- The pilot included a drive-thru-only location in Bolingbrook and seven more locations in Texas, offering uniquely themed drinks like Sour Cherry Energy Burst during a test that allowed rapid menu edits.
- McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said CosMc's helped experiment with flavors and tech but drinks may be too complex for regular stores, adding "it's a space that we believe we have the right to win."
- McDonald's plans to incorporate CosMc's inspired beverages into regular McDonald's locations and will discontinue the CosMc's app, signaling a shift from stand-alone pilots to broader beverage tests.
