McDonald’s to launch Bacon Hour promotion
By Sara Shaw • January 23, 2019
On Jan. 29, participating restaurants nationwide will be giving away bacon during “McDonald’s Bacon Hour.” On that day, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time, customers can receive two half pieces of Applewood smoked bacon on the side for any order. The free add-on is available for one order per customer.
“America loves bacon,” said Michael Haracz, McDonald’s manager of culinary innovation. “I really can’t wait to see the crazy and daring combinations our customers put together.”
The free-bacon hour is an effort to drive foot traffic comes the day before another big bacon promotion. Starting Jan. 30, McDonald’s is introducing the Big Mac Bacon and the Quarter Pounder Cheese with bacon to the menu. The chain will also launch an entirely new menu item, Cheesy Bacon Fries that same day.
