McDonald’s Corp. expects that the wallets of their lower-income customers will remain stretched into next year, Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski said Thursday.

“We’re starting to talk about 2025, and my message to our teams has been: ‘We need to be preparing for another challenging year,’” he said in remarks at a Boston College Chief Executives Club event. “We need to be making sure that we’ve got a really strong value proposition in all of our markets.”
