Rising Cost of Burger

As ingredients for Big Macs, McNuggets and other items have become more expensive McDonald's, the world's biggest restaurant chain, expects that more price hikes for its meal could be coming this year. Data from the U.S, Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that costs for key burger ingredients between Jan. 2019 and Jul. 2022 increased from 9% for species to 117% for wheat (key component in production of buns)McDonald’s U.S. food and paper costs were up by about 4% in 2021, and management anticipates about a 8% increase in 2022, with more pressure earlier in the year. Management notes that this will pressure both margins and cash flow.

H&M Locations Worldwide, 2008-2020 //knoema.de/psoqqgg/h-m-locations-worldwide-2008-2020 2021-04-16T10:59:21Z Alex Kulikov knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1847910
H&M Locations Worldwide, 2008-2020

(7 April 2021) With its extensive business network, the Sweden-based multinational clothing retailer H&M has become one of the world's leading fashion companies. After a decade of continuous expansion, adding around 320 stores per year on average, the company's net increase in number of stores (opens minus closures) was only 108 in 2019, and in 2020 it turned negative. H&M had a total of 5,018 stores, in 74 countries across six continents, at the end of 2020.  In the last two years, openings of new locations, primarily in new markets, have been outnumbered by closures of existing stores, especially in European countries and the US. This trend is consistent with the company's strategy of promoting online purchases through its growing network of e-commerce stores and fixing the number of its traditional brick-and-mortar locations. The first H&M store opened in 1947 in Västerås, Sweden, and was a small women’s wear shop. Now, H&M has eight different fashion brands available in its stores worldwide. Since 2008, the company has added about 57,000 employees to its roster of designers, pattern makers, and other staff, increasing the total number of H&M employees to 110,000 in 2020. The number of traditional stores almost tripled during the same period, from 1,738 units in 2008 to 5,018 at the end of 2020. Today's H&M corporate business model emphasizes sustainability, a concept enabled by the company's global footprint. The company has moved from a traditional store expansion strategy towards online shopping growth and sustainability path performance. According to the company's annual Sustainability Report 2020, H&M aims to achieve full circularity and climate positive status by 2040, and become climate neutral by 2050. The company has also stated a commitment to  gender equality in the workplace and has successfully increased the share of male workers from 20% in 2008 up to 27% in 2019.

Number of Starbucks Stores Globally, 1992-2021 //knoema.de/kchdsge/number-of-starbucks-stores-globally-1992-2021 2021-04-16T10:14:35Z Alex Kulikov knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1847910
Number of Starbucks Stores Globally, 1992-2021

(29 March 2021)  Today Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 32,938 retail locations as of the first quarter of 2021, followed distantly by coffee shop chains such as Dunkin Donuts with about 10,000 restaurants, Tim Hortons with 4,300 outlets, and Costa Coffee with nearly 1,700 stores worldwide. Starbucks was founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, and incorporated on November 4, 1985, to become the publicly traded Starbucks Corporation.Based on the company's positive, sustained operating results, it is ranked among Forbes' Top-500 world's biggest public companies.  Starbucks' international footprint has expanded to 24,058 stores worldwide since first expanding outside the US market in 1996, with stores located in three main markets: the Americas, which includes Canada, Latin America, and the US; China and the Asia Pacific (CAP); and the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The domestic market still represents more than half of all Starbucks stores; California, with 1,863 locations, has more stores than any other state.  Starbucks operates two types of stores: company-operated and licensed. Currently, the store count is almost equally distributed between these two types - 51 percent of stores are company-operated and the other 49 percent are licensed - even under continuous expansion. During the first quarter of 2021, Starbucks launched 278 new stores. The company's growth is bolstered by a low turnover of its stores. Only 443 Starbucks stores have closed throughout the company's history: 240 stores in 2009, the year of the global financial crisis; 42, in 2010; and 161 in 2011.

McDonald's vs Subway: Which Has the Bigger Restaurant Chain? //knoema.de/yhawhcb/mcdonald-s-vs-subway-which-has-the-bigger-restaurant-chain 2020-11-27T09:19:08Z Alex Kulikov knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1847910
McDonald's vs Subway: Which Has the Bigger Restaurant Chain?

McDonald's and Subway are two of the world's largest international fast food restaurant chains. Each company possesses a strong brand and is an established name in the casual eating restaurant industry. With 40,953 locations worldwide, Subway beats out McDonald's as the largest global chain. McDonald's currently has 37,855 locations globally. So, what's behind this difference in global positioning? And, are the differences meaningful beyond a number of restaurants?  Ownership Structure The most important general difference between the two companies is that McDonald's is a public company while Subway is privately owned. The common stock of McDonald's is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and it has been included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) since 1985 due to its market capitalization and its position in the industry. In contrast, Subway is owned and operated by the private company Doctors' Associates Incorporated. The McDonald's brand is much more valuable than that of Subway despite both companies ranked among the world's most valuable brands, according to Forbes, up to 2018, when Subway was dropped from the list. Regular, open publication of the company's financials improves its access to capital which, in turn, provides more opportunities to strengthen the company's brand, a key factor behind its continued strong financial results. So, it seems that brand value alone does not explain the difference between the chain size of the two companies. Investment and Capital Resources For established companies such as McDonald's and Subway, franchising is one way to expand rapidly with minimal risk to the parent company. Both companies use franchising in their business models but to different extents. All Subway stores are franchised. The company itself does not own any Subway restaurants. McDonald's owns about 20% of its restaurants, with the remaining 80% owned and operated by independent franchisees. Expertise gained from operating company-owned outlets enables parent companies to improve the operating standards of the whole franchise chain. At the same time, the existence of company-owned stores in McDonald's business structure places certain restrictions on its expansion capabilities. For example, a conventional franchise agreement supposes that the parent company owns the land and the building or secures long-term leases for its restaurants. This requires more capital, which can limit the ability for expansion at the rate of other chains, like Subway. Fee Structures We have already discussed that the business models of both companies are focused on franchising. A franchise license is an authorization granted by a company to an individual that enables the franchisee to maintain control over purchasing, employment, pricing, and marketing decisions. To secure a franchise license, the franchisee pays a set of fees to the parent company. The franchise fees to open a new McDonald's restaurant are much greater than that of a Subway restaurant. The total investment needed to open a new McDonald's restaurant ranges from $1,215,000 to $1,945,000 plus an initial fee of $45,000, while the opening costs of a new Subway range from $116,000 to $263,000 with an initial fee of $15,000. Thus, Subway is much more affordable for small entrepreneurs. Geographic Segments While the preceding factors speak to why the number of Subway locations exceeds that of McDonald's, the data reveals that McDonald's, with stores in 113 countries, has a broader geographic representation than Subway, which has stores in 107 countries. In addition, in some countries, the number of McDonald's restaurants exceeds that of Subway, particularly in China and Japan as well as Europe and South America. Subway, in turn, dominates in Australia, India, and the United Kingdom as well as North and Central America. The United States is the single largest market segment for both companies.

Will Strong US Consumer Demand in September Yield to Cool Winter Prospects? //knoema.de/wehmcwg/will-strong-us-consumer-demand-in-september-yield-to-cool-winter-prospects 2020-10-30T12:08:45Z Misha Gusev knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1000560
Will Strong US Consumer Demand in September Yield to Cool Winter Prospects?

(26 October 2020) Consumer demand has bounced back quickly from the depths of the corona-crisis to reach $548.3 billion in September, a substantial 5.4 percent over September 2019, according to US Census Bureau. When you consider that consumer demand accounts for nearly 70 percent of US GDP, you can understand why this would breath fresh optimism into broad recovery of economic activity. In September, sales of many retail businesses exceeded pre-crisis levels. Only gasoline, food services, clothing, and electronic stores remain well below January 2020 levels. Gasoline stores ended the month with sales 18.2 percent below January levels in part because of depressed fossil fuel prices but also with lesser foot traffic through attached convenience stores. Food services and clothing sales have suffered mainly due to anti-covid restrictions and remains hindered by COVID-19 surges. COVID-19 gave a boost to online spending and outdoor activities vendors. During the first nine months of 2020, sales of non-store retailers, building materials and gardening equipment dealers, and food stores increased from 12 to 20 percent year over year. Despite the encouraging September figures, further expansion of US consumer demand is simply uncertain. Total new daily case numbers nationwide have hit new daily records and stimulus funds have expired, pushing consumers to reconsider spending decisions and activities outside the home even though recent research showed that consumers have so far spent less than 10 percent of total stimulus benefits. A survey on winter holiday spending plans from Prosper Insights and Analytics also points to sluggish winter holiday spending compared to last year.

US Retail Sales, Sept 2019 //knoema.de/buvjjcd/us-retail-sales-sept-2019 2020-03-04T21:16:14Z Nematullah Khan knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1975840
US Retail Sales, Sept 2019

US Retail Sales Fell 0.3% in September 2019 Contrary to market expectations, US retail sales contracted 0.32 percent MoM in seasonally adjusted terms in September compared to growth of 0.63 percent MoM in August. In annual terms, retail sales grew 4.1 percent YoY in September. The decline in retail sales was mainly driven by contraction in automobile and gasoline sales. Excluding automobiles and gasoline, retail sales otherwise remained flat in September on MoM basis. The contraction in the retail sales coupled with moderation in job growth reflects subdued consumer spending. This could be a signal that manufacturing weakness has started to spread more broadly across the US economy. The trade war between the US and China—which led to decline in business investment and fears of recession—have made consumers more cautious. It will be worth watching development in this trend over the next few months as consumer spending accounts for 68 percent of the US economy.   Spending in Seven of the Thirteen Major Categories of Retail Sales Decreased in September  Auto retail sales contracted 0.9 percent MoM in September compared to 1.9 percent growth in August. This trend is especially noteworthy given tat buyers benefited from lower lending rates.Gasoline station sales declined 0.7 percent MoM (-1.3 percent in August).Building materials sales fell 1 percent MoM (+2.3 percent in August).Nonstore retail sales, a measure of online shopping, shrank 0.3 percent MoM (+1.2 percent in August).General merchandise store sales contracted 0.3 percent MoM (-0.2 percent in August). Select Sectors Remained Strong.  Sales in apparel, health and personal care, and furniture and home furnishings, all grew in September.

China Retail Sales-Retail Sales ticked up in September 2019

China’s retail sales grew 7.8 percent YoY in September compared to 7.5 percent YoY in August 2019.

Retail Sales Slumps Marginally in August, 2019

China’s retail sales grew 7.5 percent Y-o-Y in August 2019 compared to 7.6 percent Y-o-Y in the previous month.

United States: E-Commerce and the Retail Sector

Electronic commerce, aka e-commerce, was introduced more than 50 years ago to share financial or business documents from one company to another. Today, with the spread of the Internet and retail giants such as eBay and Amazon, online shopping is probably what comes to mind for most people when they hear e-commerce mentioned. According to the US Census Bureau, e-commerce retail sales in 2000 were valued at $27.6 billion. By 2016, e-commerce retail sales grew by more than 1,300 percent to over $390 billion. Census Bureau is one of many agencies now actively tracking e-commerce transactions, particularly in the retail sector. According to the Census Bureau:In 2015, 75 percent of total retail e-commerce sales were from non-store retailers, amounting to $295 billion, a 15 percent increase from the previous year.The same year, consumers spent $58.2 million on clothing and clothing accessories (including footwear), the highest value product category covered by the Census Bureau. Ninety percent of the sales were e-commerce transactions.The books and magazines retail segment, however, had the highest share of electronic sales at 93 percent of all transactions in 2015.

Number of Retailers: a Measure of Competition //knoema.de/misyiig/number-of-retailers-a-measure-of-competition 2017-08-24T13:53:53Z Alex Kulikov knoema.de://knoema.de/user/1847910
Number of Retailers: a Measure of Competition

Consistent with traditional economic theory, the number of retailers per million compared to national inflation rates reveals that in markets with greater market competition, prices tend to rise more slowly. Retailers in the food and the sport and leisure sectors, however, work with unique market dynamics that diverge from this relationship and require careful branding and market positioning to succeed.Malta, Iceland, and Luxembourg have the highest number of retail chains per million and report inflation rates that are among the lowest worldwide, according to data from the Veraart Research Group Retail-Index* and the IMF. Other countries with relatively high levels of competition (more than 25 retail chains per million people) and low inflation (lower than 1.15 percent) are Denmark, Croatia, Finland, Ireland, the Slovak Republic. The fashion and clothing sector is the most highly represented in each of these countries and likewise accounts for roughly 20 percent of total retailers worldwide. Eurostat reports that in June the sector continued to report one of the lowest inflation rates among all retail sectors in the European Union.The high competition, low inflation relationship fails in other sectors, including food and sport and leisure. In the sport and leisure sector, a higher number of retailers actually correlates to higher levels of inflation.  *Note: The number of retail chains includes only retailers with a minimum of 5 stores or at least a €3 million turnover.
