NEW YORK (AP) – McDonald’s introduction of its all-day breakfast helped to lift sales by 5.7 percent in the U.S., marking the second straight quarter of domestic growth as it fights to win back customers. The world’s biggest hamburger chain says global sales rose 5 percent at established locations. McDonald’s is working to turnaround its business under CEO Steve Easterbrook, who took over last March. One of the biggest changes under Easterbrook was to make breakfast food like the Egg McMuffin available around the clock in the U.S. – an option many customers had long desired. McDonald’s executives have conceded that they failed to keep up with changing tastes and are working to update menus and marketing.
