Ray Kroc: The Man behind McDonald’s
Founded in 1940 by two brothers, Dick and Mac McDonald, McDonald's Corporation, as it is known today, was later taken over by Ray Kroc. Kroc's vision and marketing expertise created one of the most successful fast-food restaurant chains in history. He revolutionized the restaurant industry with his eatery's disciplined production of hamburgers, French fries, and milk shakes. Today, the company boasts more than 31,000 worldwide locations and had more than $21 billion in revenues in 2006.
