McDonald's is reaching for the stars with its newest idea, the first CosMc's menu. This small, space-themed spot focuses on special drinks and breakfast items.
McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinsk shared this exciting news about the new chain on December 6th at an investor event.
Moreover, the first CosMc's, McDonald's new space-themed restaurant, quietly opened its doors in Bolingbrook, Illinois. NBC Chicago reports it welcomed early customers on Thursday and started regular hours from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday.
The buzz was building around this unique spot even before its official opening. One eager customer even waited three hours to try one of CosMc's special frappes.

McDonald's first CosMC's menu: "A little bit Starbucks."
CosMc's, McDonald's newest restaurant, offers a menu that mixes its classics and Starbucks-style drinks. They've introduced unique beverages like specialty teas, lemonades, slushes, and frappes, with creative names like Sour Cherry Energy Burst and Berry Hibiscus Sour-ade.
For coffee enthusiasts, there's a range of new options, including a Turmeric Spiced Latte and S'mores Cold Brew. These drinks can be personalized with syrups, shots, and boba beads.
CosMc's has two new sandwiches: the Spicy Queso Sandwich and the Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich, alongside McDonald's favorites like McMuffins and McFlurrys.
Furthermore, the new CosMc's menu is an exciting mix of snacks, baked goods, soft serve, and classic McDonald's. There are Pretzel Bites with dipping choices like Spicy Queso and Savory Hash Brown Bites for a quick bite.

CosMc's Ordering Experience
CosMc's, McDonald's newest venture, is introducing a high-tech ordering system designed for speed and convenience. The restaurant will feature a dynamic menu board and cashless payment options, allowing customers to place and pay for their orders quickly.
Additionally, CosMc enhances the drive-thru experience by assigning specific windows for order pickups once ready, streamlining the process for on-the-go diners.
The concept of "CosMc's," McDonald's latest and boldest venture, traces its roots to a metallic alien character from a McDonald's commercial of the 1980s and 90s. This character's craving for McDonald's food inspired the unique theme.
CosMc embodies McDonald's innovative spirit. During the second-quarter earnings call, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski highlighted CosMc's as a compact, creative concept that represents the essence of McDonald's while also expressing its distinct character.
McDonald's has big plans for its CosMc's chain, aiming to open around ten new locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio areas by the end of 2024. CEO Chris Kempczinski highlighted the significance of this expansion, noting that it reflects the company's growth potential.
Over a year ago, CosMc's was merely an idea, and now the first test location is opening. Kempczinski also marveled at the evolution of a McDonald's character from the 1980s, a blend of alien, surfer, and robot elements, into this groundbreaking concept, calling it nothing short of incredible.
