History of Mcdonald's

In 1940, the first Mcdonald's was opened in San Bernardino, California. You would think Mcdonald's would have been so successful because of their ability to make food fast but they were very good at marketing and the iconic ads. Since they were so successful at the marketing they were able to keep up with competion. Mcdonald's main competitors were wendy's, In and out, and of course Burger King. The menu for Mcdonald's look pretty simular to what we have now but just a little more basic.

In 1948, the founders of Mcdonald's , Maurice and Richard McDonald, revamped the business. Some of the new looks of Mcdonald's was being able to make a large amount of food faster. Another big part of this time was the fun, red and yellow clown. Rondald was a chacter to appeal to children and symbolize Mcdonald's. With good food and a goofy looking clown they had to be the best fast food company in the world, but in 1979, Mcdonald's started giving out toys with kid's meals that just few month later was named the happy meal.
