Value in Our DNA

We are keenly focused on delivering value and affordability, working at pace with our franchisees in markets around the world to evaluate our offerings, and acting with agility to implement solutions to deliver against customer expectations. The Spain market continued to perform well this quarter, driven by strong execution of our strategy, including a continued focus on value through its Menú4You platform.

Guest Count-led Growth

To continue establishing McDonald’s as an industry value leader, we have moved with urgency in partnership with our franchisees to improve our value offerings in most of our major markets, such as the $5 Meal Deal in the U.S. which drove customers back into our restaurants throughout the third quarter.

Our Growth Pillars in Action

Our Marketing and Core growth pillars worked seamlessly in tandem this quarter with the launch of our Collector’s Edition campaign which maximized the power and scale of our global brand while ensuring local flexibility and cultural relevance. Running in over 30 global markets, the campaign featured core equities across all dayparts and captured our fans’ attention while keeping operations simple and giving customers more reason to purchase core menu items.
