About Us

The McDonald’s story starts with one man.

Back in 1954, a man named Ray Kroc discovered a small burger restaurant in California and wrote the first page of McDonald’s history. From humble beginnings as a small restaurant, we're proud to have become one of the world's leading restaurant chains with more than 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries.
