History Of Mickey D's


            Risk takers have always been prominent in business affairs since the early years of the world. They have been willing to do anything to make money even if it means the risk of losing money. The old saying says "the bigger the risk, the bigger the potential benefit". McDonald's restaurant, one of the most highly recognized names in the world today, was started by crazy risk takers and their finished product is not even finished yet. .
             McDonald's Restaurant was started in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois. The restaurant was named after brothers, Dick and Mac McDonald, but the pioneer and person who made McDonald's famous was Raymond Albert Kroc, a risk-taking salesman who mortgaged his house and spent his life savings on creating Mulitmixers. The McDonald brothers had already opened up a restaurant in San Bernardino, California. The reason for Kroc being so enthusiastic about opening new restaurants was because of a five-spindled milkshake maker called the Multimixer. He was the exclusive distributor of any Multimixer anywhere, so he moved out west. He tries to convince the brothers that they should open a new shop so he could sell Multimixer to each one of the franchises, after all, the McDonald brothers" hamburger stand ran eight Multimixer at one time. The brothers agreed that Kroc should run their restaurants so started the chain of what has become the largest fast-food restaurant chain in the world. The McDonald's in Des Plaines is now a museum of McDonald's memorabilia including the famous Multimixer. The first day's revenue for McDonald's was $366.12, not bad for an opening day. Now, the world's leading food service organization is headquartered just outside of Chicago, in Oak Brook, Ill. About 2,800 employees provide a wide variety of support functions to the 28,000 McDonald's restaurants in 120 countries around the world through a network of offices. From the McDonald's campus office complex, home to the world-famous Hamburger University, the McDonald's Plaza, or one of three other nearby locations in Oak Brook, McDonald's Home Office employees work to support the McDonald's System through a variety of business functions.
