It appears that the promotion tagline this year will be “Score a McRib while you can”.
More importantly noted is that the McRib will be served from October 20th through November 16th at this and other locations within this service area. Granted sales may end sooner or may run longer depending on inventory.
At this location they have the option to offer buy an Extra Value Meal and get a McRib for yet to be determined price. Last year several locations offered a buy a combo get a McRib for $1 which was very popular where available.
