Topic Reading-Vol.958-11/25/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
How McDonald's conquered India
Though the brand and signage are the same around the world, their menu and customers seem to be very much localized. That may be one of the reasons McDonald’s became the world top fast food restaurant chain, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries across 35,000 outlets.
In most of the developed countries, the restaurant is positioned as unhealthy junk food restaurant while in developing countries it is regarded as trendy or even premium restaurant. But that’s not it. Their menu is pretty much diversified to meet the locals’ tastes in each market. Although most of their menus look similar, sandwiching grilled or deep-fried patty or something with buns, what’s inside are very different depending on the customs, religions and tastes of the market. Can you imagine a Big Mac without beef?
Enjoy reading and learning how the burger chain has successfully been localized in India.
