Probably not the type of headline he’ll stick on his cv but;
Mcdonalds will be hiking prices for the first time since 2008.
McDonald’s Corp.’s Japanese business will raise some burger prices by much as 25 percent next month, the fast food chain’s first increase in the country since 2008.
Hamburger prices will go up to ¥120 from ¥100 and cheeseburgers will rise to ¥150 from ¥120 in Japan in May, McDonald’s Holdings Co. Japan Ltd. said in a statement Thursday. The hikes are part of the company’s plan to boost profitability rather than a rise in materials prices, it said.
The restaurant chain is also raising the price of a small shake to ¥120 from ¥100, and some chicken products to ¥120 from ¥100. The price of a small order of fries will come down to ¥150 from the previous range of ¥190 to ¥230.
