McDonalds has often teethered on the brink of going out of fashion, and just when you think all is lost, it bounces back in fine style. It has just been announced that the chain has had its best ever year...customer visits up from 83million to 1billion.
And wait for it...87million Big Macs sold. That's shifting some burgers that is!
So this great swing in good fortune for McDonalds is down to the recession at a guess. Generally people are more price-aware and staying away from the more fancier restaurants..ie..a bad year for Gordon Ramsey, a good year for McDonalds.
"Even if you only have £1 in your pocket there is something at McDonalds for you" says the blurb. And now with better coffee and better salads, the overall menu has improved too. This success has meant more and more jobs are being created, with up to 5,000 more jobs in the coming year.
All this talk of hamburgers is making me hungry..yes its time I had another Big Mac. Must join the rest of the masses, Dont wanna be left out!
