In constant currencies, this increase was 8.2%, while comparable sales for brand McDonald’s increased 6.4% for the month.


“In the US, November marked the third consecutive month of double-digit comparable sales growth, up 10.2%. Total sales rose 12.3% to a record high for the month,” CEO Jim Cantalupo said.
