Why It's Important?
The introduction of these seasonal items reflects the fast-food industry's strategy to attract customers with limited-time offerings that align with seasonal trends. By diversifying their menus, these chains can boost sales and enhance customer engagement during peak seasons. The focus on fall flavors also taps into consumer nostalgia and the demand for comforting, indulgent treats, potentially increasing brand loyalty and market share.
