McDonald’s Corp. is selling Monster Beverage Corp. energy drinks in about 20 of its U.S. restaurants, potentially opening up a new market for the high-caffeine beverages.
"We’re always gathering feedback from customers on the food and beverages they’d like to be served at McDonald’s, and this is another example," Lisa McComb, a spokeswoman for the fast-food chain, said in an e-mail. Locations in Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, Florida and Illinois are testing the drinks, she said.
