CHICAGO, May 2 — McDonald’s Corporation announced yesterday that its US same-store sales dropped 3.6 per cent in the first quarter of this year, the worst drop since the 8.7-per cent plunge in the second quarter of 2020, Xinhua reported.

The US fast-food chain giant attributes the drop to bad weather and more cautious consumers.

Meanwhile, McDonald’s global comparable sales decreased 1 per cent in the first quarter of 2025, while international developmental licensed markets increased 3.5 per cent.

In the first quarter, McDonald’s consolidated revenues decreased 3 per cent; and consolidated operating income decreased 3 per cent.
