McDonald's Gets Good News (And It's Good for Customers, Too)
McDonald's is a giant in the fast food industry, but it's not like it was when the chain launched back in 1940. According to the McDonald's Corporation, the restaurant chain was founded in 1940 when "Dick and Mac McDonald open McDonald's Bar-BQ restaurant on Fourteenth and E streets" in San Bernardino, CA. From the 1950s, McDonald's had their famous "golden arches" design. "The McDonald brothers insisted that their architect design an attention catching building that would highlight their Speedee Service System," the company states on their website. Today, McDonald's has lots of competition from not only fast food chains but also other chains, such as casual restaurants, sub shops and sandwich shops. But, one move they recently made is turning out to be a smart one. McDonald's relaunched its popular Snack Wrap on July 10, and it's paying off, literally. According to Placer data information provided to Restaurant Dive, the fast food chain has enjoyed a double-digit growth following Snack Wrap relaunch of the Snack Wrap. That's good news for McDonald's and also for customers who want them to keep the Snack Wrap around. "Visits were up 15% on July 10 compared to the year-to-date average and 11% compared to the year-to-date weekday average," Restaurant Dive reports. "On July 11, visits increased 22.3% compared to the year-to-date average, and 7% for the year-to-date respective weekday average." That's an extra good showing, because it's bigger than the kick off of last summer's $5 Meal Deal promotion, R.J. Hottovy, head of analytical research at Placer, told Restaurant Dive in an email. "That value deal helped boost same-store sales by 0.3% during Q3 2024," the publication added. Hottovy told Restaurant Dive that "consumers responded favorably to the return of McDonald's Snack Wrap" according to their research, "indicating a meaningful lift in daily visits during the first three days of the relaunch compared to year-to-date averages." Hottovy added, "The Snack Wrap's successful comeback is the latest example of a revived product finding success, reinforcing the power of nostalgia in today's QSR limited-time offers."McDonald's Gets Good News (And It's Good for Customers, Too) first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 17, 2025 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Elk Grove man dies in wrong-way crash on Highway 99 in Merced County
A 21-year-old Elk Grove man died in a wrong-way head-on crash on Highway 99 in Merced County early Monday morning, the California Highway Patrol said. CHP officers responded to Highway 99 just south of Hammatt Avenue in Livingston around 2:15 a.m., where they found a crash that involved three vehicles. Officers said an investigation determined the 21-year-old man from Elk Grove was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu sedan the wrong way in the first lane of southbound Highway 99. A 41-year-old man from San Bernardino was traveling south in a 2020 Toyota Camry sedan in the first lane when officers said the two drivers didn't see each other and crashed. The Chevrolet veered off to the left toward a big rig in the third lane of southbound Highway 99, where the Chevrolet crashed into the big rig's trailer. The Elk Grove man died and three passengers, whose ages ranged from 19 to 21, were taken to a hospital with moderate to major injuries, officers said. The driver of the big rig and the Toyota were not injured and remained at the scene. It's unknown if DUI was a suspected factor in the crash.
