All-day breakfast at McDonald's

McDonald's Corp, which is expected to offer all-day breakfasts starting this fall to turn around slumping U.S. sales, is the top choice for “Breakfastarians,” who crave breakfast food at any hour, according to a new survey obtained by Reuters on Monday.

Forty-one percent of consumers who eat breakfast twice a day consider McDonald's for their next meal, according to the survey from YouGov BrandIndex, a brand perception research service.

Sandwich chain Subway was diners' second choice for anytime breakfast with 34 percent, followed by DineEquity Inc's IHOP at 32 percent, Burger King with 27 percent and Starbucks Corp at 26 percent.

Denny's Corp and Dunkin' Donuts were tied with 25 percent each and Wendy's Co got 23 percent, while KFC and Chick-fil-A rounded out the top 10 with 22 percent apiece.

McDonald's long has dominated the breakfast category, which already accounts for roughly 25 percent of McDonald's sales and about 40 percent of profit in the United States. (portfolio.hu)
