Amid a tumultuous past year for McDonald's, the world's biggest restaurant chain's CEO Don Thompson is retiring after two years on the job, effective March 1. The fast food is also getting a new CFO.
The restaurant's Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Brand Officer Steve Easterbrook will replace Thompson, who is a 25-year veteran of the company, the company announced on Wednesday.
Previously, Easterbrook served as president of McDonald's Europe and led the chain's "efforts to elevate its marketing, advance menu innovation, and create an infrastructure for its digital initiatives," it said in a release. The company's CFO Pete Bensen will also transition to the role of chief administrative officer while Kevin Ozan, the company's current corporate controller, will become the chain's new CFO.
This is why, other then for the local eats, I will only do at most either a Wendy’s or a Subway. No fan of McD’s.
Until the food turns them off.
5 guys is good, but the fact that there’s not one nearby and pricepoint make it my number 2...
I too recall the fries and actually McNuggets [before I found out was in them].
The last thing I recall eating at McD’s was a McGriddle more than year ago...I’ve given up on our local store as it’s just not that good...
CFA sandwiches are good, and I think Wendy’s actually does a pretty good job with theirs.
Since there’s no CFA in our area, Wendy’s is my sub for them.
