Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's Corp. said Monday same-store
sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, rose 4.5 percent in
the U.S.
The nation's No. 1 hamburger chain says the increase was driven
by strong sales of breakfast items, chicken sandwiches and biscuits
and its value options. McDonald's gains come as sit-down restaurant
chains in the U.S. report sharp declines in sales.
Same-store sales rose 7.8 percent in Europe and 13.2 percent in
the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa division.
Total sales worldwide rose 1.9 percent.
