About McDonald's...

McDonald's... Is the leading global foodservice retailer with more than 30,000 local restaurants serving 52 million people in more than 100 countries each day. More than 70% of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local men and women.

Is one of the world's most well-known and valuable brands and holds a leading share in the globally branded quick service restaurant segment of the informal eating-out market in virtually every country in which we do business.

McDonald's success is often attributed to the unique partnership among the "McFamily"- frequently described as a three-legged stool.  This means that the company, the franchisees and the suppliers each support the weight of McDonald's system equally.
