CHICAGO, Ill. – McDonald’s is launching a spin-off chain, and it could be a major rival for Starbucks.

It’s called ‘Cosmc’s’ and it’s a beverage-focused concept. Cosmc’s is expected to have a menu that includes various flavored blended beverages and cold coffee.


Highway with ‘Loneliest Road in America’ also runs through St. Louis region

Customers won’t be able to order signature McDonald’s items like fries and burgers. Instead, new to-go foods like hash brown bites and a spicy queso sandwich will be on the menu.

The first test location will open in Chicago this month.
