McDonald's Corp. said January same-store sales rose 5.7 percent over year-earlier levels, amid 9.7-percent growth in the United States, a 3.3-percent increase in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region and a 0.5 percent decline in Europe. On a system-wide basis, sales increased 4.2 percent. The company said sales were helped by its breakfast menu, extended hours, gift cards and warmer weather.
