McDonald's October same-store sales fall 0.5 percent

[November 10, 2014]  (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp said on Monday sales at established restaurants fell across all regions in October, hurt by stiff competition in the United States, economic and political upheaval in Europe and the fallout from a supplier scandal in China.

Worldwide sales at restaurants open at least 13 months fell 0.5 percent last month, better than the average analyst estimate of a 2.2 percent decline, according to research firm Consensus Metrix.
