There's a new McDonald's scheduled to open in St. Joseph, Missouri this July and, along with new self-order kiosks for the "Create Your Taste" burger platform, the new restaurant's Facebook page indicates that the they will be offering the option to "create your own desserts from a range of ingredients."
While it's yet unclear what ingredients available, I'm imagining (wishfully thinking of) ordering one of their fried pies a la mode.
Additionally, a report by the St. Joseph News-Press, covering the restaurant opening, states that all-you-can-eat French fries(!) will be available. I'm guessing maybe only with one of the pricier "Create Your Taste" burgers or chicken sandwiches. It might not be bad a move considering that fries are a high-margin item. If they charged $3 for an all-you-can-eat option, it's about a buck more than a large order of fries, which is plenty for most people.
It's uncertain whether the location is piloting the new dessert platform (and fry option) or if they're previewing a national rollout (my money's on the former).
