McDonald’s secret new spin off chain CosMc’s prepares to open — here’s what we know so far

From Big Macs to nuggets, McDonald’s has already given us so much – but now, they’re on the verge of opening a new spin-off restaurant.

Earlier this year, Maccies bosses announced CosMc’s, described as a ‘small-format concept with all the DNA of McDonald’s, but its own unique personality.’

Trulli

The first location is well on the way to opening in Bolingbrook, Illinois and after a passer-by managed to take pictures of their menu screens being tested, we finally have some insight into what CosMc’s might serve.

While it’s unclear if the menus were simply dummy place holders, or the real deal, glimpses from the screens reveal an array of items, including iced teas, lemonades, slushies, sandwiches, and smaller bites.

As well as posting the menu pictures to X, formerly Twitter, user Iman Jalali also added: ‘It’s not open yet and there was a full team of actors in the drive thru filming a commercial so the menu was up and I was able to snap a few pics from afar.

‘Four drive thru lanes to boot.’

It’s been speculated that the new CosMc’s will be extension of the already existing McCafe menu, and a rival to popular chains like Starbucks.

McDonald’s revealed they’d be launching the new chain back in the summer, named after a mascot from the 80s and 90s.

CosMc was an alien from outerspace with a passion for McDonald’s French fries (we can relate), who featured in adverts for the chain from 1986 to 1992.

While McDonald’s is being fairly tight-lipped about what CosMc’s has in store for us, it’s fair to say that fans of the Golden Arches are excited.

‘Suspense is killing me,’ wrote one user on X.

‘Lookout Starbucks, here comes CosMc’s,’ added another on TikTok.

Although some aren’t impressed by the potential menu: ‘I feel like I need to brush my teeth just looking at that sugary drinks menu,’ wrote an unimpressed user.

There is still no set date for the big opening of CosMc’s – and no info as to whether it will land on UK shores – so for now, we wait…

Foolish McDonald’s had another chain that they own 90% of in 2005 that they spun off that chain was called chipotle. Much more successful and higher PPS then McDonald’s ever has had.

If it has ANYTHING AT ALL to do with McDonald’s, count me out. No way in hell I’ll have ANYTHING that they make.

Instead of spinning off Chipolte, they should have closed it.

"gross"

Same $hit food. Same $hit prices. They're putting lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

Funny how McDonalds didn't make an appearance in "Idiocracy"...if there were ever a fast food place that would fill the role that Starbucks filled in that movie...it would be McDonalds!

Ten dollar sugar drinks like Starbucks, no doubt. You lose $3650 a year and gain diabetes in your future. I’m lovin’ it!

Does the new McVomit give out coupons for 10% off angioplasties and stomach stapling as a marketing campaign?

I couldn’t read much of what was in the pictures, but of the ones I could read, I wouldn’t walk across the street to get them, even if they were free.

I don’t care as long as the stock goes up. I bought mcdonalds stock every month in the 90’s in the 30 dollar range and now it’s 286 a share. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s working well.
