Ray Kroc, a milkshake mixer salesman, ventured to California in 1954 to visit McDonald's hamburger stand where he heard they were running eight mixers at once. Kroc was impressed by how rapidly customers were served and seeing an opportunity to sell many more milkshake machines he encouraged brothers Dick and Mac McDonald to open a chain of their restaurants. Kroc became their business partner and opened the first McDonald's in Des Plaines, Illinois in 1955. McDonald's and the Golden Arches have since become an internationally recognized symbol of quick-service Hamburgers, fries, chicken, breakfast items, salads and milkshakes.
Ray Kroc is commonly known as the founder of McDonald's. This is a slight mistake. While Ray Kroc is part of McDonald's, he did not start off running the hamburger joint. He was originally a salesman who sold machines that made milkshakes. His business was failing and he remembered some customers Richard and Maurice McDonald purchased his product. Kroc later joined with the brothers and the McDonald's franchise was born. Ray Kroc was also the owner of the San Diego Padres 1974-1984.
He was ruthless and willing to do anything if it would help him succeed.
Kroc became a salesmen and did a lot of other jobs to fulfill his needs and things that he wanted to do in his lifetime.
Ray sued all of the sister buisnesses of Mc Donald's and then opened Mc Donald's near every sister buisness making Mc Donald's more famous by bringing in more costumers.
