McDonald’s popular bagel sandwiches are back by popular demand. For the first time, the beloved breakfast offerings are available nationwide after limited releases in select U.S. markets in 2022 and 2024.

McDonald's said Tuesday that it is doubling down on breakfast by introducing bagel sandwiches nationwide to celebrate the Egg McMuffin's 50th anniversary. Why it matters: Breakfast is big business for fast-food chains and expanding menus can boost morning sales.

McDonald's announced this week that bagel sandwiches are now available at locations across the country. That means customers can get a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich or any other variety in all corners of the U.S.
