McDonald’s reveals big change to breakfast hours after cutting back due to egg shortage
McDonald’s has delivered supersized news for customers, with its breakfast hours close to returning to normal.
Egg shortages brought on by the bird flu forced the fast food giant to end its breakfast offerings at 10.30am, rather than midday, for more than a month.
The measure was implemented in July, but in an update on Wednesday McDonald’s said the morning window had been expanded by an hour.
