![McDonald's Same Store Sales Up 7.1 Percent In January](https://img.money.com/2017/02/mcdonalds1.jpg)

McDonald's is planning to cut beverage prices in response to declining sales amid a nationwide fast-food slump.

Beginning in April, the fast-food giant will offer $1 sodas of any size and small $2 McCafé items ranging from smoothies to expresso and frappe drinks, [according to Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-22/mcdonald-s-to-cut-prices-on-drinks-as-fast-food-industry-slumps). The promotion will run for a limited time, but there is no word on when the deal will conclude.

[McDonald's](https://money.com/mcdonalds-free-mac-sauce/) has relied on food promotions on the past with offers like two-for-$2 menu items, but this latest move under [CEO Steve Easterbrook](https://time.com/4348391/mcdonalds-minimum-wage-robots/) turns the attention to beverages.

“Demand has been a little weak,” Jack Russo, analyst at Edward D. Jones & Co, told Bloomberg. “A lot of these guys think they’ve got to keep promoting to keep people coming in the door.”
