Back in 1954, a man named Ray Kroc discovered a small burger restaurant in California, and wrote the first page of our history. From humble beginnings as a small restaurant, we're proud to have become one of the world's leading food service brands with more than 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries.
Here at McDonald’s, our purpose is to feed and foster communities.
As the leading global foodservice retailer, we believe it’s our responsibility to make our impact on this world a positive one.
We believe in using our influence, size and reach, and engaging with customers, staff, Franchisees, suppliers and partners, as a responsible business with a positive impact on communities globally. We’re proud of the work we do to help make a difference—and will continue working to deliver progress in the communities in which we operate.
We’re driving impact by living our purpose. The actions we continue to take today across people, communities and our planet will ensure we’re building a better business and a more trusted brand for generations to come.
