Chicago was the intial test market. I specifically remember getting one cuz I was a teen and it was MJ.






Moore, who apparently had no fear of inciting controversy over calling a hamburger a sandwich, said the 519-calorie burger was test-marketed in Chicago, Illinois, the base for Jordan's Chicago Bulls. In March 1991, the $1.89 burger went on sale at roughly 350 McDonald’s locations in the Chicago area.

Moving 100 to 150 McJordan Special burgers per location per day, the response was so strong that McDonald’s decided to extend its stay on the menu. Originally scheduled to end in April, the promotional item was available through May. Later that year and into early 1992, it was also sold in 500 locations throughout North Carolina and South Carolina as well as in Alabama and Tennessee. (Jordan grew up in North Carolina and attended college there.)
