McDonald's Corp. is rolling out a new mix-and-match bundle at select U.S. stores, allowing customers to pick two items from a lineup that includes the McDouble burger, the McChicken sandwich, six pieces of chicken nuggets and fries, for $3.50 to $4. This is part of the company's effort to sharpen its value menu, following slow growth for established U.S. locations last quarter. Chris Kempczinski previously stated that a new entry-level value program was a big part of McDonald's plan to strengthen its U.S. business.
