As speculation about changes to its all-day breakfast menu abounds, McDonald’s is expanding that menu at 1,000 U.S. units starting Monday, the Associated Press reports.

Those restaurants, mostly located in the South, will now offer McGriddles all day, the AP says.

McDonald’s—which began testing that change in the Tulsa, Okla., market last month—is also trying its full morning menu all day at select locations.

McDonald’s spokeswoman Becca Hary told the AP that the chain will “continue to evolve” its daylong breakfast offerings in different markets, but it currently does not have plans to make all-day breakfast changes nationwide. 

The chain is also experimenting with other breakfast expansions, as it recently rolled out two new breakfast bowls, one of which contains kale, at 800 units in Southern California.

McDonald’s said earlier this year that turnaround efforts such as all-day breakfast played a significant part in the comp sales climb it saw during Q4.
