The Early Days
In 1954, Ray Kroc, a milkshake machines salesman, acquired the exclusive franchising rights to a successful California-based hamburger chain from brothers Dick and Maurice (Mac) McDonald. He had visited the brothers at the first restaurant in San Bernadino, California, after hearing that their restaurant used 8 milkshake multi-mixers, more multi-mixers than any other similar-size restaurant. Kroc bought out the brothers' interest in the business in 1961.
Ray Krocs 1st Restaurant
The first Kroc owned McDonald's opened on April 15, 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois. With a seven-item Menu - Hamburger, Cheeseburger, French Fries, Shakes, Soft Drinks, Coffee and Milk. The first day's sales were $366.12. Today, the first restaurant exists as a museum
U.S. Growth
By 1958 McDonald's served its 100 millionth Hamburger. The 200th restaurant opened in 1960. The one billionth Hamburger was served in 1963. McDonald's celebrated its 10th anniversary in 1965 with its first offering of stock to the public listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
In 1975 McDonald's opened its first Drive-thru Window to accommodate a more mobile society. Customer demand for convenience in the 1980's led to the opening of the first McDonald's restaurants in non-traditional locations, such as airports, colleges, hospitals, and stadiums. In the 1990's McDonald's continues to seek out locations that are convenient to its customers such as discount stores and petrol stations.
Over the years McDonald's Menu has evolved as customers' tastes have changed. The company expanded its menu from its original seven items to include breakfast, salads, chicken and desserts. McDonald's will continue to develop new products and enhance existing ones as customer tastes and technology change.
World-Wide Expansion
The first McDonald's restaurant outside of the United States opened in Canada in 1967. The company's international division was formed in 1969, and today McDonald's has expanded to 119 countries on 6 continents. McDonald's largest market outside of the U.S. is Japan, where the first Golden Arches opened in 1971. Today, Japan host's 2,400 restaurants. McDonald's other large markets include Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Australia. Recent international expansion has included rapid growth for McDonald's in the Middle East, Central Europe and South Africa.
McDonald's restaurants all serve the same basic menu of Hamburgers and French Fries. However, some international markets have added specific menu items to please local tastes.
