McDonald’s is launching the Grimace Shake to participating McDonald’s locations starting tomorrow.
CNW Group/McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Ltd.
The Grimace Shake was introduced in the United States last summer to celebrate Grimace’s birthday. Grimace is a character in McDonaldland inhabited by Ronald McDonald.
The press release reads, “What exactly is Grimace, anyway? Perhaps we’ll never know. But while Grimace remains an enigma, the fan-favourite sparks nostalgia and excitement for McDonald’s fans of all ages with the signature fuzzy purple look, friendly and playful personality, and of course – love for shakes.”
“When the Grimace Shake dropped for our neighbours to the south, the response we got from fans here in Canada was overwhelming,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald’s Canada.
“Inspired by the sheer creativity and passion we saw for the Grimace Shake, we had to bring it to Canadian menus.”
The shake will be available at participating restaurants across Canada, starting on May 14 for a limited time only.
Customers can order it in-restaurant, via the McDonald’s app, at the Drive-Thru, or through McDelivery.
