The Company stated that increase in its U.S. sales was due to its Mighty Wings and Pumpkin Spice Latte limited-time offers and the introduction of the new Premium Southwest McWrap, while Europe's overall performance continues to be supported by a comprehensive approach to driving demand via reinvigorated value platforms, rotation of popular seasonal food events and enhancement of key daypart opportunities. McDonald's further reported that sales in APMEA slid 2.8% mainly due to negative results in Japan. McDonald's stated that it is striving to improve its performance in the region by providing consistent value offerings, accelerating growth at breakfast and leveraging brand extensions in terms of different formats, such as drive-thru, delivery, kiosks and McCafé. McDonald's also stated that it plans to release its November 2013 sales by December 9, 2013.

Starbucks Corporation Research Report

On November 6, 2013, Starbucks Corporation (Starbucks) announced a strategic commitment to develop a comprehensive hiring platform for veterans and active duty spouses. According to the Company, the program is in response to record growth and anticipation of a 500,000 person future global workforce. Starbucks reported that this multi-year hiring and career development strategy will focus on establishing an internal infrastructure dedicated to support at least 10,000 hires in five years as well as match the transferable skill sets of veterans and military spouses with the specific talent needed across the Company. The Company informed that it will also build upon and expand the Company's specialized mentoring programs as provided via the Armed Forces Network (AFN), a peer organization whose emphasis is to ensure new hires have access to the information and resources they need to be successful. Commenting on the program, former Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates stated, "Veterans and military spouses represent one of the most underutilized talent pools in our country and, without the proper career path, will continue to go untapped. Companies like Starbucks recognize this opportunity and are moving swiftly and aggressively to match the jobs they will create in the future with the talent returning to America over the next several years."
