CosMc’s menu is primarily focused on beveragesand many speculate that the brand is meant to compete with Starbucks.

After Ronald McDonald foils CosMc’s attempt at thievery, the group sits down to enjoy the food together.
Thus, the CosMc’s brand was born.
The chain currently boasts more than 40,000 locations in over 100 countries across the world.

The company has no plans to slow down when it comes to expansion anytime soon.
Store format
A typical McDonald’s restaurant offers customers several ways to enjoy their food.
Customers can also order ahead and pick up their food inside the store or at the drive-thru.

However, McDonald’s customers don’t necessarily need to get in and out as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, CosMc’s store format was developed specifically with the on-the-go customer in mind.
Even the CosMc’s color scheme differs from McDonald’s.
