March 2 has been declared National Egg McMuffin Day by QSR brand McDonald's and is being promoted with a free Egg McMuffin to the delight of consumers alike. The promotion will be run for one day only, and requires patrons to place an order through the brand's smartphone app between the hours of 6am and 10:30am on Monday, March 2, 2020. This is sure to help draw consumer attention away from competitors given that March 2 is also the same day that Wendy's is set to launch its own breakfast menu nationwide.
The free Egg McMuffin promotion comes as part of the continued escalation of competition between brands as they seek to capture more market share by offering consumers exclusive deals for their patronage.
