McDonald’s Buries Competition with Homemade Profits (BusinessWeek)

With each McDonald’s location averaging around $2.6 million in revenue last year, and number 2 Burger King averaging about $1.2 million, it appears that Mickey D is beating the pants off the competition in “Everything from marketing and site selection to product initiatives and franchisee location,” according to Nick Setyan, vice president of equity research at Wedbush Securities.
