Fast-food giants Burger King and McDonald’s are going head to head in a battle of value meal deals, while Wendy’s is not far behind with its own offerings. In a move to attract customers amid rising costs and a cost-of-living crisis, Burger King has announced the launch of its own $5 meal deal ahead of McDonald’s. The deal includes a choice of one of three sandwiches, along with nuggets, fries, and a drink, set to run for several months. This comes after McDonald’s unveiled its limited-time $5 combo meal offer, aiming to entice customers impacted by inflation.
With customers seeking discounts, especially in the face of a 33% increase in fast food prices, many companies are revamping their pricing models. Wendy’s has been a key player in the value meal arena, offering the $5 Biggie Bag that comes with a choice of sandwich, nuggets, fries, and a drink since 2019. Additionally, Wendy’s is celebrating National Hamburger Day by offering Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for just 1 cent with another purchase through the app.
The fast-food industry’s competitive landscape is heating up, with companies vying for market share through quality and pricing strategies. As consumers weigh their options between dining out and buying groceries, the battle for customer loyalty intensifies. Amidst these developments, Restaurant Brands, the parent company of Burger King, is yet to provide further details on the new promo.
