McDonald's Extends Popular $5 Meal Deal Through August

The value meal, initially a four-week promotion, has been extended due to high customer demand and increased restaurant traffic.

The $5 Meal Deal includes a McDouble or McChicken, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries, and a small drink.
93% of McDonald's locations in the U.S. have voted to continue the promotion.
The deal has successfully driven foot traffic back to McDonald's amid rising food prices.
Analysts note the meal deal is more of a promotional tool than a profit generator.
McDonald's is considering further extensions and additional affordability measures.
