McDonald's Japan opening more stores in second half
Tokyo

McDonald's Holdings Co Japan plans to open more restaurants than it will close in the second half, said chief executive officer Sarah Casanova, adding that she expects the trend in new stores to continue next year. That comes after the fast-food chain shuttered restaurants for years as it faced food-contamination scandals that sent sales plummeting.
