The deal, which launched on June 25, includes a choice of a McDouble burger or McChicken sandwich, small fries, four-piece Chicken McNuggets and a small soft drink.Ahead of McDonald's earnings report on Monday, July 29, analysts surveyed franchisees to gauge their reactions to the Meal Deal.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkalinowski/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisees-split-on-mcdonalds-5-meal-deal-extension-2726826" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mark Kalinowski</a>, CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://kalinowskiequityresearch.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisees-split-on-mcdonalds-5-meal-deal-extension-2726826" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kalinowski Equity Research</a>, reported that franchisees estimate a 1.3% average sales increase due to the Meal Deal, with responses ranging from 0% to 3%.

The performance varied geographically, with stronger sales in urban areas catering to lower-income demographics.Some operators reported selling over 200 units per day, double the projection, with 20-25% of transactions including the $5 Meal. However, the use of a 20% digital coupon is impacting margins.“While we appreciate the need to encourage app adoption, we believe this double-dipping will likely be eliminated at some point in the future as franchisees look to extend this promotion into the fall or even until year-end,” said Saleh.&nbsp;Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nrn.com/quick-service/mcdonald-s-franchisees-divided-5-meal-deal?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisees-split-on-mcdonalds-5-meal-deal-extension-2726826" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;Every great franchisee had help buying a franchise.
