TOKYO, June 19 (Reuters) - The Japanese operator of McDonald's restaurants said on Monday it would raise prices at 184 city centre branches, equivalent to about 6% of its 3,000 stores, to help absorb higher rents and labour costs.
Until now, 40 stores in some city centres and special locations such as airports and motorway service stations had been subject to "city centre pricing".
McDonald's Holdings Company Japan (2702.T) said the new pricing would start on July 19.
McDonald's, Japan's largest fast-food chain, has led the way with three price increases across all outlets since March 2022, including the latest one in January.
McDonald's said the latest round of hikes would range from 10 to 90 yen per item or set.
