CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — McDonald’s is reportedly working to create a $5 Value Meal to help offset slowing sales.
According to a report by Bloomberg, the $5 meal would include four items: a McChicken or McDouble sandwich, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, fries, and a drink. Sources confirmed those potential offerings to CNBC, but the chain declined to comment to the outlet.
