It wasn't the intention of the MacDonald brothers.

  • Brothers Richard and Maurice Macdonald opened in 1948 in San Bernardino, California (in the photo), the first hamburger restaurant with their last name. Soon the family business was successful and in 1953 it became a franchise.

28 February 2017

The brothers' intention was, of course, to get rich, but they didn't want to open the chain very much, they wanted to adapt to a limited number of restaurants. However, in 1961 they did not renounce the offer of Ray Kroc: MacDonald’s restaurants were sold for 2.7 million dollars at the time.

Today, the junk food paradigm spans 119 countries and serves about 68 million customers a day.
