In a post on the company's website, McDonald's U.S. President Joe Erlinger said reports suggesting the price of the average Big Mac has doubled since 2019 were false. Erlinger acknowledged that he and many franchisees were frustrated by a post on X last summer about a Big Mac meal in Connecticut that cost $18, calling the price "an exception." He noted that franchisees own and operate 95% of U.S. McDonald's locations and set their own pricing but "work hard to minimize the impact of price increases." McDonald's said the average U.S. Big Mac was $4.39 in 2019 and now costs $5.29, a 20.5% increase. Is a single Big Mac more or less than $5.29 in your area? The same price
