McDonald’s Announces Price Hike For 5 Menu Items In The UK
Written by SOURCE on February 20, 2023
McDonald’s has announced a supersized price increase for five of its menu items as rising food and energy prices continue to impact more than 1,200 of its restaurants in the UK.
The fast-food company has announced that its Mayo Chicken and Double Cheeseburgers will go up by 20%—from 99p to £1.19 and £2.49 £2.69, respectively—while the Bacon Mayo Chicken will also go up from £1.59 to £1.79. The price of its Double Cheeseburger and Medium drink have also been increased.
But this isn’t the first time that McDonald’s has been forced to change its prices on some of its offerings. Last July, they hiked the cost of its single cheeseburger from 99p to £1.14 for the first time in 14 years.
“We are committed to offering great tasting food at affordable prices,” a spokeswoman for the beloved fast food company said. “However, like many businesses, the impact of the increase in food and energy costs continues to affect our company and our franchisees.
“We carefully review and adjust pricing to offer great value and quality, but at the same time, we continue to work hard on how we can provide our customers value where it matters most, with personalised offers and rewards through the MyMcDonald’s Rewards scheme.”
