McDonald's Offers Week of Buy One, Get One Happy Meals

McDonald’s restaurants around Atlanta will offer a buy one, get one free deal on Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals each afternoon from 2 to 7 p.m. during the week of Sept. 16 to 22.

There are two McDonald's around Midtown: one on  and another on

The promotion is for the launch of McDonald’s new Happy Meal, which now will include apple slices and a smaller-sized order of French fries (which can be traded for a second bag of apples if you like).

“As the dad of a young daughter, I know that helping kids make good nutrition choices can be challenging,” Donavon Groen, president of the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operator’s Association, said in an announcement.

“With the new Happy Meal, we’re helping support parents in encouraging their children to enjoy food that is good for them along with the foods they love by automatically including both apples and fries as part of a balanced, kid-appropriate meal. We’re excited this new offering will introduce about 100 million cups of produce annually into the diets of our youngest customers.”

More Happy Meal fruit and vegetable choices are expected to roll out over the next few years.
