This article talks about a global fall in Mc Donalds sales in the first quarter. The fall in sales was directed towards a harsh winter in the states and the UK. Increasing competition from Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut was also seen as a major factor for these fall in sales. The worlds largest restaurant chain also expect sales to drop in April. The company blamed the ongoing economic uncertainty for the fall of sales in Europe.

Yes, Mc Donalds is seeming to lose popularity although their new burgers are good
ReplyDeleteMcDonald's CEO seems to blame the company's downward slopping sales on "global economic headwinds" and "challenging eating out environment". Though they keep announcing new dishes such as the McRib and chicken McWraps, it is hard to get costumers in the door... Maybe they should have more healthier options.
ReplyDeleteMcDonalds is creating new products like the new packaging on certain food items but perhaps the industry is changing? Perhaps people don't want "fast food" anymore.
