In 1954, Ray Kroc, a seller of Prince Castle brand Multimixer milkshake machines,
learned that the McDonald brothers were using eight of his machines in their San
Bernardino restaurant. His curiosity was piqued, and he went to take a look at
the restaurant. He was joined by good friend Charles Lewis who had suggested
to Kroc several improvements to the McDonald's burger recipe.
Believing the McDonald's formula was a ticket to success, Kroc suggested they
franchise their restaurants throughout the country. The brothers were skeptical,
however, that the self-service approach could succeed in colder, rainier
climates; furthermore, their thriving business in San Bernardino, and franchises
already operating or planned, made them reluctant to risk a national
venture.[1] Kroc offered to take the major responsibility for setting up the new
franchises elsewhere. He returned to his home outside of Chicago with rights to
set up McDonald's restaurants throughout the country, except in a handful of
territories in California and Arizona already licensed by the McDonald brothers.
The brothers were to receive one-half of one percent of gross sales.[1] Kroc's first
McDonald's restaurant opened on April 15, 1955, at 400 North Lee Street in Des
Plaines, Illinois, near Chicago. The Des Plaines interior and exterior was painted
by master painter Eugene Wright, who owned Wright's Decorating Service.
Eugene was asked to come up with a color scheme and he chose yellow and
white, with dark brown and red being secondary trim colors. Those colors would
go on to become the colors of all McDonald's franchises. (Recognizing its
historic and nostalgic value, in 1990 the McDonald's Corporation acquired the
stand and rehabilitated it to a modern but nearly original condition, and then
built an adjacent museum and gift shop to commemorate the site.)
Once the Des Plaines restaurant had become operational, Kroc sought
franchisees for his McDonald's chain. The first snag came quickly. In 1956 he
discovered that the McDonald brothers had licensed the franchise rights for
Cook County, Illinois to the Frejlach Ice Cream Company. Kroc was incensed
that the McDonalds had not informed him of this arrangement. He purchased
the rights back for $25,000, five times what the Frejlacks had originally paid, and
pressed forward. McDonald's grew slowly for its first three years. By 1958, there
were 34 restaurants. In 1959, however, Kroc opened 68 new restaurants, bringing
the total to 102 locations.
In July 2011, McDonald's announced that their largest restaurant in the world will
be built on the 2012 London Olympics site. The restaurant will contain over 1,500
seats and is half the length of an American Football field. Over 470 staff will be
employed serving on average (during the 2012 Olympics) 100,000 portions of
fries, 50,000 Big Macs and 30,000 Milkshakes. This restaurant will overshadow the
current largest McDonald's in the world in Moscow, Russia.[citation needed]
In January 2012, the company announced revenue for 2011 reached an all-time
high of $27 billion, and that 2,400 restaurants would be updated and 1,300 new
ones opened worldwide.

as the worlds leading food service brand, said Mr. Ali K. Daud, Development
Licensee and President of McDonalds Oman. While it is important to deliver
food quickly, the importance of food safety and sanitation cannot be
underestimated and should not be compromised, he said.

and third party laboratories and local municipalities. McDonalds enforces

production lines at our suppliers factories and all the way through the supply
