Burger King Gains Ground in US Fast-Food Showdown as McDonald’s Slows
Burger King’s US same-store sales jumped 8.5% in the latest quarter thanks to a revamped Whopper, store renovations, and a new marketing push, with international growth rising about 5.4%. McDonald’s US same-store sales grew only 0.8% amid a disjointed value-menu rollout and execution challenges, though overseas results were stronger and a new US president was named as the company aims to regain solid US growth by 2027.
