Strategy for Growth
We plan to further build our business by focusing on our three-part growth strategy: Execution, Expansion and Extension.
Execution: We intend to satisfy more customers, more often by delivering superior quality, service, cleanliness and value - what we call QSC&V. This is the foundation of our success and an imperative for capturing growth opportunities in the future. This is an immediate and ongoing priority.
Expansion: In the near- and medium-term, our aim is to broaden our reach both under and beyond The Golden Arches to capture an even greater number of meals eaten away from home. This includes adding new McDonald's and Partner Brand restaurants, plus innovating to build sales in our existing restaurants through concepts like McCafe' and McDonald's with the Diner Inside.
Extension: Our long-term goal is to extend our business and brand by leveraging our physical assets, retail know-how and brand strength to innovate and develop new business concepts.
