Fast food chain serving grilled burgers, fries & shakes
"A recent site refresh swapped a busy, millennium-era identity — italicized wordmark, a yellow bun and a Sonic-the-Hedgehog–blue swoosh that suggested forward motion — for a deliberately retro presentation: beiges and browns, fat serif fonts and a burnt-orange bun. The company framed the switch as a minimalist evolution and leaned on a logo nearly identical to versions used from 1969–1999; the redesign was positioned as comforting and familiar to Gen X and millennial customers. The shift also reflects a broader branding strategy of avoiding the backlash that often greets new marks, and it was created by designers who originally introduced the italic, dimensional burger and blue swoosh during the late-1990s/millennium refresh that tested very well. At the same time, the reversion to nostalgic visuals has been criticized as a PR play that can gloss over real labor and animal-welfare controversies — for example, continued low wages, delayed commitments on supply-chain issues, and sustainability initiatives that critics see as more promotional than substantive." - Jaya Saxena
"A major quick-service restaurant chain that collaborated with plant-based protein companies to offer meatless burger options in its outlets, using those tie-ups to broaden consumer exposure to mock-meat products and generate high-profile media coverage." - Nadra Nittle
"This fast-food chain announced plans to replace its existing crispy chicken sandwich with a new version later in the year, indicating a menu refresh aimed at keeping pace in the competitive chicken-sandwich market." - Jenny G. Zhang
"Starting December 28 the chain will roll out a $1 menu where Bacon Cheeseburgers, Chicken Jr. sandwiches, fries, and soft drinks are available for $1 each. To promote the launch it has been randomly sending $1 payments on Venmo ahead of the debut. The company frames the offering as a response to current financial strain — citing the importance of value for guests amid pandemic-driven unemployment, rent pressures, and rising hunger — and says it times promotions to be a helpful solution. The move also aligns with the usual January flurry of fast-food value deals and signals growing price competition as customers rely on limited federal stimulus relief." - Jenny G. Zhang
"The nationwide fast-food chain already serves Impossible Foods' plant-based burger and highlights the product's versatility by using it in formats that can be adapted into dishes such as chili, lasagna, and other menu items beyond a traditional sandwich." - Jaya Saxena
