Monday, April 29, 2:27 PM McDonald's (MCD +1.5%) and Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN +0.4%) are leading a pack of restaurant chains that are extending hours of operation in order to help pump up revenue. In some cases, the plan is pitting some companies against their own franchisees that are somewhat convinced the wee midnight to early breakfast hours aren't unprofitable.

Chains that are expected to ride out the expected tough environment are those that can deliver healthy food fast. Chipotle (CMG -1.8%), privately-held Subway, and Panera (PNRA -1.5%) fit the bill. 6 Comments [Consumer]
