CMG - Can sustain current SSS trends (June est. +8-10%); growing positive traffic trends (one of the only concepts doing so) coupled with little to no resistance to price increases. The new Pollo Asado is one of the most successful promotions in a long time.
MCD - Dominating the price / value messaging and taking market share from peers. June SSS expectations are +2-4%. Top sales drivers: 2 for $6, Nugget Bundles, Off Premise sales. On the negative side, most franchisees unhappy with the new PACE Store Visitation Program.
DPZ - Declining momentum. June SSS expectations are in the negative 3-1% range. Driver shortages not only impacting sales and market share, but also brand credibility; not easily fixed.
