The Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food niche aka the Grocerant niche has been expanding for many years now and McDonald’s is taking notice.  Newell noted that more than 70% of coffee consumption in the U.S. occurs at home, and this retail test will allow McDonald's to tap into the demand that exists and "highlights how serious we are about elevating McCafe brand potential."
