The first 100 people in-store each day will get their hands on free food too
A shop dedicated specifically to McDonald’s sauces - including a number of new flavours - will be opening in Manchester.
The Sauce Shop will be McDonald’s first ever space that is dedicated solely to its iconic flavours and will allow people to get their hands on some of their favourites, whether it’s Sweet ‘n’ Sour, Sweet Curry, or Barbecue.
There will also be the chance to try some of McDonald’s newest dips which form part of its Summer menu, including Hot Honey, Ranch and Korean BBQ. Hot Honey forms a big part of the latest additions, with a special burger and McFlurry both incorporating the trending flavour.

Running next Saturday and Sunday (July 25 and 26), the free pop-up will be based at beloved Northern Quarter spot Black Milk, on Oldham Street, which will feature an iconic floor-to-ceiling wall of dips.
There will be a Sauce Customisation station where people will be able to get their hands on a limited-edition sauce pot, which can then feature a nickname or favourite phrase printed on to make it extra special.
The first 100 customers to visit the Sauce Shop each day will also be granted a voucher for a free portion of three Chicken Selects at either the nearby McDonald’s at Piccadilly Gardens, the Arndale or St Ann's Square.
There will also be a special live printing photo booth where people can snap an iconic photo in front of the pop-up shop’s soon-to-be iconic dip wall.
The news comes just days after McDonald's made the controversial decision to change how customers can order its Wrap of the Day offer from the menu- causing an uproar from some fans. Since July 14, those wanting to order the menu staple, which has been running since 2011, will only be able to buy it from via the app and can no longer get it from the restaurant kiosks.
Not everybody has been a fan of the new hot honey-inspired menu additions either. Taking to social media, one person asked: "Hot honey mini McFlurry? wtf." Another said: "Dont get what the hype is with hot honey." But others were more impressed, with one saying they wanted 'hot honey everything'.
The Sauce Shop experience will be open on Saturday, July 25 from 1pm to 6pm and on Sunday, July 26 from 12pm to 6pm. It will be based at Black Milk, 88 Oldham St, Manchester, M4 1LF.
