OAK BROOK, IL-Global comparable sales for McDonald’s Corp. rose 5.7% in January, on top of a 5.2% increase achieved in January 2005. The company’s global sales results marked the 33rd consecutive month of positive results.

In the US, comp sales rose 9.7%, which McDonald’s execs said was due to the strength of the Plan-to-Win concept. In a statement, McDonald’s chief executive officer Jim Skinner also attributed positive sales to a “strong breakfast business, popular core and premium menu choices, everyday value, extended hours, gift cards and mild January weather.”

In Europe, comparable sales were down 0.5% for the month as France and Russia delivered strong sales performance, partly offsetting weak sales results in the UK and Germany. According to company execs, the UK and Germany faced difficult comparisons against successful national coupon promotions in the same year-ago period.
