The restaurants – in San Francisco, California and Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas – will sell the so-called “McPlant” burger starting Feb. 14 for as long as supplies last in order to “help us understand customer demand,” the Chicago-based chain said in a post on its website.
Shares of Beyond, which makes the McPlant patty from peas, rice and potatoes, opened about 6% higher.
McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) initially tested the burger in eight U.S. locations in November.
In December, two Wall Street analysts forecast a major U.S. expansion of the McPlant.
