McDonald’s to open two new CosMc’s grab-and-go locations in Dallas-Fort Worth soon
On the heels of McDonald’s launching its first Texas location for its new beverage-led concept, CosMc’s, the fast food chain is gearing up to open two new restaurants in the Metroplex.
The second ever CosMc’s in Texas will open in Watauga on April 2 at 7304 Denton Highway. Arlington will land the the state’s third location on April 8 at 300 East Abram St. suite 150.
McDonald’s announced the beverage-focused concept CosMc’s last year, which is aimed at solving the mid-afternoon slump with a caffeine boost. The menu offers a variety of lemonades, teas, coffees and slushes.
CosMc’s first Texas location opened last week in north Dallas at 6033 Campbell Road. The Dallas restaurant is the second ever CosMc’s location, after the initial one opened last December in Bolingbrook, Illinois.
The Star-Telegram stopped by CosMc’s Dallas location last week, trying a bevy of treats. The tropical spiceade, churro cold brew frappé and spicy queso sandwich were highlights.
