Confirmation of if the McRib will be nationwide in 2014

Earlier today CNBC provided a story related to the McRib and the 2014 release. Part of the story discussed an overview of the McRib for those that previously were unaware of what the McRib is (yes, there are still people who don’t know what a McRib is).

The story also highlighted that the release will not be nationwide, as recent McRib fans have been indicating. As we discussed last year, the McRib sales have brought success to quarterly reports in the past, so a limited release is interesting.
