McRib Return Shortened?

KDVR is reporting that the McRib will be a a available in the Denver area only through September 22. This would be a departure in duration from the past few years were a availability typically lasted 3 months. That said, one of the early release locations last year only offered the McRib for around 2 weeks, so this may not be an indication of an overall reduction. The one certainty is if you are in the Denver area make sure to get your McRib fix in now as it will only be here for a very limited time.

McRib Returns in the United States for the 2013 Season

Just in from an email confirmation and from the Twitterverse, the McRib has returned in the United States for the 2013 season. Currently the McRib can be found in the Mile High City of Denver, CO as well as in surrounding locations along the I-25 corridor. @MrEerieMist feasted on a McRib in Porter, CO, and Mike emailed a photo of his receipt from Westminister, CO (and grabbed the first confirmed sighting of the season). @tobykdotcom also shared some of the signage at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Centennial, CO. Note that in the photo from @tobykdotcom the promotion for purchasing a second McRib for a mere single dollar will return again this season for some locations.

While the late August roll out is a bit earlier than typically has been the trend these past years, the early September release sounded within reason per our last post in July regarding the production spinning up. We started seeing some reports filter in Thursday August 22, 2013 in the Rocky Mountain State, and now with confirmation we start the pondering of where might the McRib show up next, and how long might it be staying around.

2013 McRib Production Beginning Soon

Time to get your taste buds warmed up, we have received information that the 2013 McRib Production season will be beginning soon. Expectations are that the McRib will return to the production lines mid August. This is roughly around the same time that production fired off last year. It appeared that the McRib was going to make an earlier than normal start last year, however McDonalds opted to a December release in order to improve 4th quarter numbers. Keeping this in mind, expect the McRib to return again this season, possibly starting to show up as early as September or as late as December!

Check back with us here on the blog, on twitter or via Facebook for the latest information on the McRib’s return as we try to narrow down the exact release date.
