McDonald's US sales rise for third straight quarter
NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald's sales rose 5.4 percent at established U.S. locations in the first quarter, marking the third straight increase as the chain fights to stage a comeback.
The world's biggest burger chain attributed the sales jump to the introduction of its all-day breakfast menu last fall, as well as a new "McPick 2" value deal that replaced its long-running Dollar Menu.
Burger King and Wendy's are also stepping up new offerings and deals, and Starbucks is trying to get into the food game more with breakfast sandwiches and lunch offerings.
