McD’s domestic comps rebound in April

OAK BROOK Ill. McDonald’s domestic same-store sales rose year-over-year by 2 percent in April, capping March’s decline of 0.8 percent as the only dip in monthly same-store sales during the past five years.

The world’s largest quick-service chain attributed the April increase to breakfast sales, new products and “compelling” value.

McDonald's global same-store sales rose 5 percent. The highest increase of 7.8 percent occurred in the company's Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region, led by Australia and China. Contributing to that result were local menu promotions and extended hours, the company said.

In Europe, same-store sales rose 6.3 percent in April, credited to the rollout of the premium M beef burger in France and Germany and the Monopoly promotion in the United Kingdom, McDonald's said.

Year-to-date, comparable sales are up 6.8 percent.
