McFlurry, make room for Stroopwafel.
McDonald's confirmed Wednesday that, for the first time, it is bringing items from its international menus to U.S. restaurants nationwide.
Starting June 5, customers won't have to hop on a plane to find the Netherlands' Stroopwafel McFlurry, which mixes chopped caramel waffle cookie pieces into soft serve; Spain's Grand McExtreme Bacon Burger, which is topped with gouda and bacon sauce as well as thick-cut bacon; Canada's Tomato Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich; and Australia's Cheesy Bacon Fries, which already had a limited-time run in the U.S. earlier this year when the fast food chain introduced new bacon-centric menu items.
Though Chicago-based McDonald's offers a rotating menu of global items at its restaurant beside its Fulton Market headquarters, it hasn't before offered them nationally.
"We know our U.S. customers are curious about McDonald's international menu items," said Linda VanGosen, McDonald's Vice President of Menu Innovation. "Because we are always innovating our menu, we are thrilled to leverage our global scale and offer popular flavors from around the world next month."
McDonald's, which has some 14,000 U.S. restaurants and 38,000 worldwide, has been trying to attract more customers as traffic sags amid stiff competition.
The items will be available for a limited time.
