How McDonald's has kept Europeans hooked by fusing an American fast-food staple with local delicacies
- Given its place in U.S. culture, McDonald's European success might surprise some. But it's a product of the giant's deliberately curated local menus.
The article from AOL Finance discusses how McDonald's has maintained its popularity in Europe by adapting its menu to local tastes and cultural preferences. Instead of merely exporting the American fast-food model, McDonald's has fused local flavors with its traditional offerings.

This approach has allowed McDonald's to keep Europeans hooked by providing a familiar yet uniquely tailored fast-food experience.
