The brand McDonald's needs not much introduction. Everyone is aware that McDonald's is a huge name in the fast-food industry and owns the largest fast-food restaurant chain worldwide. The story began after two brothers, Richard and Maurice McDonald, came up with the idea of producing huge quantities of food and selling them for less prices. After revamping their original drive-thru, and limiting their menu to just hamburgers, french fries, shakes, and pies, the newly envisioned McDonald’s opened.
Later Ray Kroc joined the brothers as a franchise agent and in no time he purchased the company from them and drove them out of business. Under Ray Kroc's leadership, McDonald's corp went out to become a huge name and began to gain recognition around the world.
Now McDonald's serves around 69 million people daily in 119+ countries via 40,000 different restaurants. Rent, royalties, and fees are paid by the McDonald's Corporation's franchisees and as of 2021, there are approx. 200,000 people working in McD as employees.
