“Europe’s comparable sales rose 1.1% in November despite a negative calendar shift. In the face of Europe’s challenging business climate, year- to-date comparable sales were up 2.4%. To gain more traction and grow our business in Europe, we will continue to focus on delivering outstanding everyday value and superior service along with contemporary and relevant food offerings,” Skinner added.
The company said that in its Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region, comparable sales were relatively flat (-0.2%) for November, reflecting a negative calendar shift.
