“Our US business once again posted strong results, with comparable sales up 4.2% for the month. Expanded menu choice and variety, like our new Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad, and more convenient service hours contributed to this performance. We’ll continue to focus on combined initiatives to further enhance the customer experience,” Skinner added.
In Europe, comparable sales slid 1.4% in May, amid a “challenging” business climate in the UK and Germany.
In Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa comparable sales were down 0.6%, as positive results in Australia were negatively offset by a weak performance in Japan.
