McDonald's has signed a deal to sell Red Bull energy drinks, adding Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer, Dirty Dr. Pepper and Mango Pineapple Refresher to its menu from August, according to confidential documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal. The move comes as McDonald's intensifies competition in the fast food sector, where it holds 49% of the US market. The company recently launched a $3 menu and $4 breakfast to attract cost-conscious customers, with CEO Chris Kempczinski stating the strategy aims to improve "value & affordability scores". Red Bull, which sold 14 billion cans last year generating $14 billion in revenue, competes primarily with Monster and Celsius in the energy drink market. McDonald's recent quarterly results showed comparable sales up 5.7% worldwide, with revenue rising 10% to $7 billion.

PHOTO: REUTERS Published Apr 13, 2026, 11:30 AM Updated Apr 13, 2026, 11:39 AM McDonald's is preparing to introduce a Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer as part of a broader revamp of its cold drink menu at its US restaurants later in 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported on April 12, citing company documents. The new beverages, slated to roll out in May, include a Dirty Dr Pepper and a Mango Pineapple Refresher, the report said. McDonald's energy drink offerings are expected to go on sale starting in August, the Journal added. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. McDonald's did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment. According to the report, McDonald's plans to price the new drinks below offerings from competitors such as Starbucks, Dutch Bros, Sonic and other chains. This comes as restaurants compete to attract price-conscious diners worn down by economic uncertainties. Earlier in April, McDonald's introduced menu items priced at US$3 (S$3.80) or less and offered a US$4 breakfast meal deal in the US. Top stories. Explore top stories from all sections in one place
End of an era: Disney Park McDonald's gets torn down. Credit: Michael Gray, Flickr It's the end of the era for the Golden Arches as one Disney park tears down a McDonald's restaurant that has served guests since the 1990s. My videos. The Golden Arches and Disney. McDonald's and The Walt Disney Company have collaborated since the 1980s, starting with Happy Meal toy partnerships and eventually expanding to the Disney theme parks. In the 1990s, kiosks serving French fries and other McDonald's staples appeared at Disneyland Park, Magic Kingdom Park, and EPCOT, and a full-service fast food restaurant opened in the Downtown Disney District (now Disney Springs) at Walt Disney World Resort. McDonald's eventually sponsored the now-closed DINOSAUR ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. You'll still find Disney-themed Happy Meal toys at your local McDonald's, but the brand disappeared from the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the early 2000s. Disney did not renew its contract with the brand as part of an effort to promote healthy eating for children, and the theme park kiosks, restaurants, and DINOSAUR sponsorship disappeared. The only McDonald's on Disney property in the United States is a standalone restaurant near Walt Disney World's All-Star Resort hotels. Still, McDonald's remained a staple overseas at Disneyland Paris Resort. After opening its first French location in 1972, the Golden Arches became a fast-food giant in the country. France eventually became the company's second-largest market. In the 1990s, a giant McDonald's opened in the Disney Village lifestyle complex. McDonald's leaves original Disney location. Last year, Disneyland Paris Resort announced the permanent closure of the decades-old McDonald's restaurant in the Disney Village shopping, dining, and entertainment district. The fast food giant has operated in the outdoor lifestyle complex for nearly 30 years. The restaurant remained open while construction continued on a more modern McDonald's nearby, but welcomed its final guests on February 16, 2026. X (formerly known as Twitter) user @cave0fwonders shared these photos and a video of the Golden Arches coming down: A page is turning... | [Translated from French] #disneylandparis @McDonaldsFrance Get your Happy Meal nearby. Luckily, European Disney Park guests won't have to go far to get their Big Macs and chicken McNuggets. The new Disney Village McDonald's opened near Lake Disney on February 17, with exclusive Disneyland Paris Resort merchandise and "an innovative architecture designed exclusively for Disneyland Paris." Have you ever spotted ongoing construction during your visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, or an international Disney park?

McDonald's looks to build on south side of e'town. * BY GREG THOMPSON THE NEWS-ENTERPRISE * 9 hrs ago Residents and motorists on the south side of Elizabethtown will be lovin' this. The Burrell Family McDonald's operates the Golden Arches in Elizabethtown among others south along Interstate 65 and as far west as Evansville, Indiana. It is proposing construction of a new restaurant in a vacant lot across Roanoke Drive near Subway. The proposal will be taken up by the Elizabethtown Planning Commission at its meeting Tuesday. The lot at 100 Roanoke Drive near East Dixie Avenue will be subdivided with a portion of it being developed for the new McDonald's. "We are recommending approval, so it should be fairly smooth sailing," said Aaron Hawkins, city planner. According to a spokesperson with the Burrell Family McDonald's, the target date for opening is next spring. If the family-owned company is able to receive all of the necessary approvals, officials will be able to pull a construction permit by late summer or early fall. Business development on the south end of Elizabethtown has been an emphasis for Mayor Jeff Gregory, who took office in 2018. The city recently invested $4 million for sewer improvements and partnered with the state on road upgrades in the area. The arrival of QuikTrip and RaceTrac travel center joining the FiveStar in the area has helped boost traffic count from Exit 91 off Interstate 65 and the Western Kentucky Parkway. Traffic numbers are a key factor for national companies looking for development sites. In addition to the proposed McDonald's, a Dunkin' opened behind RaceTrac this year and Dewster's announced plans to build a second ice cream parlor in the 700 block of East Dixie, roughly a block from where Yokefellow Coffee Roasters opened last year.
New images show how mcdonald's and Costa will look at St George's Way. New CGI images have revealed what the upcoming McDonald's and Costa Coffee drive-thrus at St George's Retail Park in Newport will look like. The latest visuals provide a clearer picture of how the fast food and coffee outlets will appear within the wider development at St George's Way. Construction is continuing at pace, with large sections of the steel framework now in place. The structure for the Costa Coffee drive-thru unit has now been completed, marking another key step forward in the delivery of the retail park. As previously reported by Island Echo, the development will include a mix of retail units and drive-thru facilities, with Aldi, McDonald's and Costa Coffee all expected to feature. However, full confirmation of all tenants has not yet been officially released but rumours vary from Halfords, to Home Bargains, B&M to Superdrug. Work remains ongoing across the former Newport IW FC football ground, with construction expected to continue throughout 2026 before the site becomes fully operational.
