Old Navy sinks their teeth into McRib Mania

I was recently informed via Katie K and Darrel L (thank you both!) that Old Navy is offering a “McRib is Back” tshirt.



At $16.94 and sizes Small to XXXL, it seems that they are trying to reach out to a vast majority of the McRib fans. While this is a great opportunity to grab some licensed memorabilia, will you be grabbing one?

If you do happen to pick one up, send us a picture (mcribphotos@mcriblocator.com) of you wearing it so we may include it in an upcoming post showcasing McRib fans. We will be picking 3 of the submissions to be part of the McRib fan of the Week which, in addition to bragging rights, will earn you a McRib Locator pen.

In the meantime, if you happen to catch news of the McRib coming to your McDonalds, please let us know when they are planning to stock it. We have heard from Angie S (thank you Angie) that one of the McDonalds in Greenville SC is going to offer the McRib starting mid-November!

If you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo of your receipt (photos@mcriblocator.com) showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed.

McRib Update August 24, 2012

I recently received great news from Stephen (our tipster from last year) that McRib production is again under way. The timing is about one month earlier than last year, and as the McRib did not hit stores until October last year, it is within reason that a September release for the McRib is possible.

While you await the McRib’s return, please make sure to visit our 2012 McRib Excitement Poll and let us know how excited you are for the return of the McRib.

If you find a McRib, please mark your sighting at McRibLocator.com and be sure to send us a photo of your receipt showing the purchase so that we may mark it as confirmed.

2011 – 2012 McRib Production Volume

I recently received a newsletter from a friend in the know (thanks Stephen!) highlighting the production of the McRib patty at Lopez Foods (see earlier related post). The highlights are that in 25 days of production, over 8 MILLION pounds of McRib patties were produced! The newsletter also offers a glimpse into the McRib production as there are images offered from within the facility. In contrast, McDonalds sells 9 MILLION pounds of french fries PER DAY (src: http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/student_zone/FAQs.html)

Below is the redacted newsletter (last names of employees have been redacted).
