    Richard and Maurice McDonald, the original owners of McDonald’s, opened their first self service restaurant in San Bernadino, California. People would come from everywhere to buy their French fries and hamburgers. Workers would buy their lunches at McDonald’s because the hamburgers and French fries tasted better than their lunches from home.
    McDonald’s is popular for several reasons. Customers can get the same food at any McDonald’s in any state or country. The employees are helpful and polite, and the table and floors are clean. Ray Kroc, the past president of McDonald’s, believed that helpful employees, a clean restaurant, and good food were necessary. And McDonald’s customers do like the food. They like the sandwiches, the milk shakes, and the French fries. Of all the items on McDonald’s menu, the French fries are probably the most popular. They are good because of their special preparation.

    By 1960, the McDonald brothers owned 228 self-service restaurants. Then, by the year 1982, they owned about 7,063. Of those restaurants, about 1,283 were in other countries; Japan, West Germany, England, and Australia. The same year, McDonald’s Corporation earned about 7 million dollars.
