McDonald’s can’t have been in SA much more than 10 years – so it’s entirely plausible that pricing structures will have been tweaked over time. In short, I think you have a point.

Surely it can be argued the addition of new McDonald franchises has made the brand more public and possibly more popular. Many more branches are also open 24/7.

The (possible) increased demand from the publicity and higher prices required to finance a 24/7 stores could be a reason for the difference in increases.
