McDonald's looks pretty golden-headed into 2018.
The combination of McDonald's planned rollout of fresh, never-frozen beef, its recent relaunch of its Dollar Menu and woes at other restaurant chains could help the restaurant boost its same-store sales and grab more market share in the industry.
The burger giant's stock ended 2017 up more than 41 percent, the largest stock move in the restaurant industry during the year, and more than one analyst is calling for more gains in the new year.

I haven’t bought anything but coffee from them in years.
**************
I like their coffee.
I see they’re finally listening to their focus groups after a couple of years.
Indeed, I will say:
I enjoy McDonald’s a LOT more in foreign countries than here...where we can take the whole “free enterprise” thing for granted...In Russia, it was my saving grace sometimes to step into one.
Check out how long the line was when the first one opened in Moscow in 1990 just as the USSR was collapsing:

I personally like a thick fry. For a thin fry, they’re the best IMO.
When I get to a place that has the thick fries, I really like them.
Both are good in my estimation.
I love McDonalds egg mcmuffins but they’re 4 bucks now.
“For a thin fry, they’re the best IMO.”

Ugh,they are dreadful IMHO.
I haven’t eaten them in YEARS because they changed the way they are fried.

“We weren’t eating beef before?”
Don’t ask.
Coffee, sodas, and vanilla cones: all good, all cheap.
There coffee rocks only one better a5 making coffee was my late mom
France I haven’t been to yet...
LoL if it’s a joke I don’t know the answer...what do they call it?
What a crack-up.
Now we know why the U.S.S.R. actually fell.
If I were a member of the Soviet Politburo and saw that I’d throw up my hands in defeat.
I say this tongue in cheek, but what an incredible unspoken commentary on economic systems comparison.
I’ll bet they hadn’t seen lines like that since the last time they went to buy toilet paper. LOL
Their ice cream is good.
If they want the glory days back shorten the menue to about 1/4 also fry the fries in lard and hire folks that are fluent in english
Great movie. Taught people to keep their fingers OFF the trigger.
Thanks for the mention.
They still taste good to me. I may not have as refined a palate as you do.
The fact they’re emphasizing fresh, never frozen beef is a scary scenario. I guess they were buying rancid beef that was frozen when shipped from their distributors all these years. McBarf indeed!
The Holiday Express kid’s meal prize was cute - 12 character themed train cars.
