In the first month since its opening in Bolingbrook, Illinois, CosMc’s, McDonald’s space-themed spinoff, has outperformed traditional McDonald’s locations by doubling the number of total visits and tripling the number of visitors per square foot, according to analytics platform Placer.ai. The 2,800-square-foot CosMc’s focuses on trendy and fun drinks, operating as a drive-thru-only location with a smaller food menu.
Placer.ai’s report suggests that the restaurant could see even more success with adjustments to drive-thru capacity and overflow space. Despite initial challenges, CosMc’s has attracted a younger demographic, primarily those aged 22 to 29. McDonald’s plans to open approximately 10 CosMc’s pilot locations by the end of 2024, with locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio metro areas expected soon.
