Accelerating the Arches: McDonald’s Growth Strategy

The Golden Arches represent our ambition as a business; we always strive for new heights and excellence, both in our performance and how we represent the Brand. We want to continue to build on the momentum that has been a feature of our recent growth. So, our next chapter is focused on Accelerating the Arches.

We must deliver across five critical areas: purpose, mission, values, growth pillars and our foundation of running great restaurants.

McDonald’s strong foundation is built on unique advantages and enduring strengths that allow our System to drive change in a way that few other brands can. As we have done throughout our 65 years, we will continue to embrace the changes taking place around us to grow, meet evolving customer expectations and make our brand even stronger. Now is the time to write the next great chapter of the McDonald’s story.
