Why Doesn't McDonald's Sell Hotdogs?

[Joey]

Not that I at all like McDonalds, neither do I ever really eat there. Just curious! Anyone know?

Dunno, perhaps if you apply for a managerial post in their company, you could sell them the idea

Why doesn't McDonalds get in on that popcorn chicken action either?


I think fast food places like to keep it simple. McDonalds focus on burgers, KFC does chicken, BK does..... more burgers.... Subway do deli rolls, etc etc. The only place I can think of where I could walk in and get a hot dog would actually be the cinema. Maybe there's some sort of massive agreement that they don't try and infringe each other's territory.

Hot Dogs - CEO Ray Kroc famously prohibited the company from selling hot dogs, regardless of potential demand, as he regarded them as unhygienic in his 1977 autobiography; however, UK Stores did sell Hot Dogs during the late nineties on the McChoice menu (later PoundSaver). Also, at least one American restaurant offered Oscar Mayer hot dogs at some time, and McDonald's locations at Toronto Metro Zoo and SkyDome in Toronto offered hot dogs until 1999. In Tokyo locations hot dogs were available in 2001

Anyone remember the mcpizza ?

Hardees Big Boy has run the gambit from roast beef sandwiches to burgers to hot dogs to chicken. The only fast food places I know who still do burgers & hot dogs are Dairy Queen & Sonic.

Me too. What happened there ?

 

[AUFred]

I think Mickey Dees floats a lot of ideas and then decide there is not enough demand.
