McDonalds spices up summer with Chicken.

McDonald's is always focused on the consumer. The global economy is continuing in a state of flux and the wholesale cost of beef and pork continue to rise in price.  McDonalds in an effort to maintain price, value and service equilibrium will leverage chicken this summer to drive topline growth and bottom line profits. 


Why is McDonalds on the right track?  They understand that consumers perceive chicken to be “healthier”.  Any product perceived as healthier is “better for you” creating a halo of good around the product and the company.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture believes that beef consumption my fall 2.2% while chicken consumption will rise 1.7% in 2013. Here again McDonalds is ahead of the curve.
