U.S. sales surge

Friday, March 5, 2004 | 10:12 a.m.

Global sales at restaurants open at least 13 months rose 14 percent from a year earlier, Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald's said in a statement. An extra day in February because of Leap Year helped lift sales for the 11th straight month, the company said.

Chief Executive James Cantalupo is increasing sales by adding higher-price foods, such as salads, and Happy Meals with fruits and vegetables for health-conscious customers.
