Why Can't You Drink A McCafé While You Shop At Walmart Anymore

For several decades, you could frequently find a McDonald's inside Walmart stores. However, the chain limited the number of operating locations to around 150 in 2021.
The reason was simple: customers were shopping more online than in person after the pandemic, so keeping numerous locations open was not financially justifiable.
While McDonald's isn't shuttered for good in Walmart, the number of McDonald's locations inside Walmart stores was over 1,000, so going down to 150 was a big change.
The removal of these locations meant the loss of getting a cheap, hot coffee while shopping and is a big deal since Walmart and McDonald's have been partners for nearly 30 years.
