McDonald's reports strong UK market as Q1 figures revealed
23 April 2014 by Neil Gerrard
Fast food giant McDonald's has reported good performance in the UK, France and Russia, as it revealed a 1.4% sales increase in Europe for the first quarter to March this year.
The company said its operating income in the region rose 6%, but that the strong performances in those countries were partially offset by continued weakness in Germany.
Globally, the company saw global comparable sales rise 0.5%, reflecting a higher average spend per head, despite "negative guest traffic" in the US and the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa regions.
