McDonald’s is celebrating National Cheeseburger Day on September 18, 2024, by offering double cheeseburgers for only 50 cents. This promotion is available exclusively through the McDonald’s app, encouraging customers to place their orders digitally to take advantage of the deal[2][4].
In addition to this special offer, McDonald's is extending its popular $5 Meal Deal through December, which includes a choice of a McDouble or McChicken, fries, chicken McNuggets, and a soft drink. This initiative is part of McDonald's strategy to provide greater value amid increasing competition and economic pressures on consumers[3][4].
Other fast-food chains are also joining the celebration with their own deals. For instance:
Wendy's will offer its Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for just 1 cent with any purchase, available through their app from September 18 to 22[2][4].
Burger King is providing free cheeseburgers to members of its Royal Perks program with any purchase on the same day[1].
These promotions reflect a broader trend among fast-food restaurants to attract customers by offering significant discounts and value-oriented deals during challenging economic times[3][4].
