October 22/Oak Brook, Ill./The Hamilton Spectator -- McDonald's frappes, smoothies and dollar menu drew in the highest customer count in more than two decades to push the world's largest burger chain's net income up 10% in the third quarter.
Results beat estimates, as the company's third quarter continued a long streak of outperforming competitors such as Wendy's and Burger King with rollouts of new products, including Angus snack wraps, smoothies and frappes, which McDonald's introduced this summer.
