McDonald's Sets Single-Week Record

McDonald's Holdings Co. (Japan) Ltd. said this week that the fast-food hamburger chain's latest price cut, implemented a week ago Monday, has already propelled it to a new one-week record of 30.1 million customers. Theoretically, that means one out of four people in Japan visited a McDonald's during the week. The surge, representing about 25 percent more customers than the previous week, broke its previous one-week record of 27.78 million customers, registered in April 2001. It also racked up sales of 9.345 billion yen -- up 15 percent from the previous week.
