McDonalds was created by Richard and Maurice McDonald in 1940 as a San Bernardino, California BBQ joint. The business shifted gears in 1948 when the brothers introduced a faster service system where food began to be produced on an assembly line. However, the company took off in 1955 when Ray Kroc joined the brothers and began franchising soon-to-be fast-food staple across the country. However, Kroc would later grow tired of the brother’s desire to remain small. In 1961, Kroc would purchase the brothers stake in the company for a mere $5 million and grow it to the corporation it is today.
