McDonald’s $1 breakfast menu

CHICAGO/PALM SPRINGS – McDonald’s Corp. is considering rolling out a breakfast ‘Dollar Menu’ nationally, but a final decision has not been made, US president Don Thompson told investors on Thursday.

McDonald’s restaurants in Chicago and other markets have been offering breakfast items for US$1 each as rising US unemployment means fewer people are stopping in for a morning meal on their way to work.A plan to offer the low-price breakfast menu nationwide during the first six months of 2010 has cleared early hurdles.In Chicago, participating restaurants have offered six US$1 items: two hot cakes, a fruit ‘n yogurt parfait, a sausage biscuit, a sausage McMuffin, two hash browns or medium coffee. – Nampa-Reuters
