I recently received an email from a source (thanks Stephen!) at Lopez Foods in Oklahoma City indicating that McRib patty production ramping up. They have increased production to 7 days per week in order to generate enough of the McRib patties for release in the near future. The McRib production goes to 7 day per week production, and as soon as the quota is reached, the McRibs patties are distributed to McDonalds.
For those of you that are not familiar with the suppliers for McDonalds, Lopez Foods is a family owned facility in Oklahoma City, OK. They are one of the main suppliers of Canadian Bacon, Hamburgers, Sausage Patties, and McRib patties to McDonalds and other corporations. Searching through the McDonalds site you can look for their suppliers and see their content for Lopez Foods.. Back in April of this year, Lopez Foods was showcased on Oklahoma Horizon. Here is the link to their video.
With the increased production, all signs indicate that the McRib will again be returning sometime yet this fall. Last year’s soft release in mid-October, and the patty production increase may hint to a similar release time frame this season.
If you find the McRib, make sure to send us a photo (photos@mcriblocator.com) of your receipt so that your sighting may be promoted to confirmed! Bonus for those that also send a photo of themselves enjoying the McRib. We will share these on the blog. Also make sure to enter your sighting at http://mcriblocator.com

Thanks for the Tip. I was at McDonalds a few days prior to the Monopoly event starting and received a Monopoly french fry container as they had apparently ran out of the regular ones.
I’m using a mcdonald’s wifi hotspot with my phone right now. This place is selling mcribs! They told us that it’s technically not supposed to start yet, but they have the supplies to begin early so here it is. 🙂
Where are you?
Not selling them here yet in ocala,fl But Iam ready to eat some can’t wait. mmmmmmmmmmmm goooooooooooodddddddd
The McDonalds off I-44 in Stout, OK is selling the McRib.
Just got a McRib in Danbury CT
Where are the McRibs? I hope my McDonalds has these tonight! I had frozen several dozen from last year and am almost out! I want my McRib fix of fresh doses! Why can’t this be a regular item like in Germany? Pork is much better than beef for the health! But I still love the Big Mac, Filet O’ Fish, cheeseburgers also! Noting like a McRib – It’s an orgasm to the body!!
Those things will be my financial death!!! Since they came out in mid-October I have ate 82 mcribs!! Trying for 100 before the first of the year when they end!!
Anyone out there think of having a mcrib eating competion? Let’s show those new York hot dog eating boys what it’s all about!! I am sure we can show them boys what it’s all about!! Any ideas email me guys and gals at Bwargo32@gmail.com love to hear from you fellow Mcribbers!!!!!
