About McDonald's
Founded in 1940, the American multinational fast-food chain first started as a restaurant, operated by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald. Although opened to sell barbecue, the restaurant switched to burgers after they became more popular.
In 1961, Ray Kroc became the owner of McDonald's Corporation after he joined the brother duo as a franchise agent and opened the first franchised restaurant in 1955. Under his leadership, the restaurant transformed from a single hamburger stand into a global fast-food empire.
McDonald's is now one of the largest chains of fast-food restaurants in the world, with over 40,000 outlets worldwide.
While Sunday’s Academy Awards was a tough race, the fast-food chain's latest Oscars-themed advertisement proves that everyone has a go-to McDonald’s order.
