Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.McDonald’s will start serving all-day breakfast in the US on October 6, following several months of testing in chosen stores.
Customers have long argued that there would be nothing better than a McMuffin for dinner. Now company executives have come round to the idea – not least because selling the Egg McMuffin sandwich all day could increase sales by as much as 2.5 per cent a year.
Franchises have voted to approve a plan, a McDonald’s spokeswoman told Bloomberg, and it’s now being rolled out Nationwide. Rather than sell the whole breakfast menu all day, franchises will sell either muffin or biscuit-based sandwiches, plus hot cakes, sausage burritos, fruit and yoghurt parfaits, oatmeal and hash browns.
Franchises can also choose whether to drop other items from the menu to make way for McMuffins. Lisa McComb, the spokesperson, said that core items, such as the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, McNuggets and fries would still be available.
All-day breakfast is only available in the US for now.
