McDonald's is one of the world's largest and most recognizable fast-food chains, known for its hamburgers, fries, and breakfast items.
# History
1. Founding: McDonald's was founded in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California. They originally operated a barbecue drive-in but later streamlined their menu to focus on burgers, fries, and beverages.
2. Ray Kroc: In 1954, Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine salesman, visited the McDonald brothers and saw the potential for a franchise model. He opened the first McDonald's franchise in Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1955 and subsequently bought the rights to the McDonald's name and operating system.
3. Expansion: Under Kroc's leadership, McDonald's expanded rapidly across the United States and internationally.
McDonald's is more than just a fast-food restaurant; it is a global brand that has had a profound impact on food culture, business practices, and consumer behavior. 4 replies
