The Grand Mac and the Mac Jr. are coming to select menus
Correction appended April 21, 2016
McDonald’s is trying two new burgers on for size to boost its Big Mac business.
The fast food chain is testing out a “Grand Mac” and a “Mac Jr.” in the Central Ohio and the Dallas areas, the Associated Press reports. The Grand Mac consists of two patties that weigh a third of a pound total and costs $4.89. It is seen as an attempt to keep up with competitors whose burgers are getting larger. The Mac Jr. is a Big Mac with just one layer instead of two and costs between $2.39 and $2.59.
If the test is successful, it may result in a national rollout.
