CosMc’s aimed to rival Starbucks and Dunkin’ by offering customizable drinks not typically served at traditional McDonald’s outlets. McDonald’s Corporation plans to add some CosMc’s beverage offerings to its core restaurant menus.

McDonald’s Corporation shifted focus towards beverages with the creation of a new division. Customer demand for customizations at CosMc’s was lower than expected, leading to the decision to incorporate those drinks into regular McDonald’s restaurants.
