July 22 (Reuters) - Burger chain McDonald's

would continue to offer $5 value meal at most of its U.S.

restaurants beyond the initial four-week window, Bloomberg News

reported on Monday citing a company memo.

McDonald's meal offer kicked off on June 25 as promotions

ramped up across fast-food chains seeking to attract

cash-strapped customers.

About 93% of McDonald's locations have committed to selling

the value meal past the initial four-week period, according to

the report.

The timetables would vary across the country, with some

locations planning to make it available through August, the

report added.

Rival Burger King, owned by Restaurant Brands International

, was also running a $5 "Your Way deal" last month,

while Wendy's had announced a $3 breakfast meal deal in

May.

McDonald's did not immediately respond to a Reuters request

for comment.
