McDonald's has announced it's cancelling its Monopoly this year.
The fast-food chain has been slowly reopening with new rules and limited services after closing its doors in March due to the coronavirus crisis.
McDonald's made some huge announcements today, which included the extension of the reduced menu and opening hours, as well as bringing back breakfast.
It also, however, confirmed the much-loved McDonald's Monopoly promotion, which was due to run in spring, would be cancelled this year.
In a statement, McDonald’s UK & Ireland CEO, Paul Pomroy, said: "We took the decision to close our restaurants shortly before this year’s Monopoly promotion was due to launch.
"We know many of you enjoy this promotion, which has run since 2005 in the UK.
"To enable safe working and social distancing inside our restaurants and to minimise the pressure on our employees, we have decided to cancel this year’s Monopoly VIP campaign.
"It creates a great deal of excitement inside our restaurants and relies heavily upon menu items we cannot safely reintroduce yet."
Explaining when customers should expect to see the McDonald's Monopoly promotion back, he added: "Rest assured, we are already planning for Monopoly 2021 and hope to be able to bring this popular promotion back next spring."
