pricing isn't the norm across McDonald's locations, rumors have been circulating that the chain's prices have gone wild -- even doubling since 2019. But do these rumblings have any merit, or are they merely sensational hearsay? Let's sink our teeth into the facts! For starters, McDonald's prices vary depending on location . Since the company is a franchise, individual restaurants price their own menu items. As such, achieving a fair estimate of price increases means comparing nationwide averages -- not extremes.
