• McDonald's Europe set to overtake Starbucks with McCafes

0 Comments
The Financial Times: McDonald's is aiming to overtake Starbucks as Europe's biggest coffee chain, with plans to open several hundred McCaf̩ stores selling pastries and cappuccinos this year. While Starbucks Рwhich has 1,300 stores in Europe Рhas been scaling back on its European expansion, McDonald's plans to expand its chain of branded cafes to 1,200 in Europe by the end of the year.
 
The company said its strategy of opening McCafés, which operate within or next to regular McDonald's restaurants, in existing restaurants in Europe allowed it to recoup its investment more quickly than Starbucks, helping it break into difficult markets such as Italy.
