This company started business in 1940 with the opening of a restaurant by Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. They introduced the "Speedee Service System" in 1948, which later became the basis pinsip modern fast-food restaurant. Early McDonald's mascot, named Speede, is a man with a hamburger shaped head using a chef's hat. Speede later replaced by Ronald McDonald in 1963.
McDonald's currently does not make the year 1940 as the year of birth of McDonald's restaurants. They chose 15 April 1955, when Ray Kroc bought McDonald's franchise license from Dick and Mac in Des Plaines, Illinois, as the day of his birth. Kroc later purchased the shares of McDonald's brothers and led the company to expand to the rest of the world. McDonald's shares went on sale to the public in 1965.


Kroc owned aggression against the wishes of the McDonald brothers. Kroc and the McDonald brothers fought for control of the business, but eventually the McDonald brothers who left the company. This dispute documented in both Kroc's autobiography and autobiographical McDonald brothers. The site where the McDonald brothers first established restaurant has now become a monument.

With aggressive expansion throughout the world, McDonald's used as a symbol of globalization and the spreading American lifestyle.
