The Founder
A tale about good ol’ Mickey D’s, why not? The Founder follows the real life fast food chain McDonald’s founder, Ray Kroc, and his life story. Kroc opened the very first McDonald’s Inc. restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois when the McDonald brothers recruited him to help out with the franchise game. After Kroc successfully franchised, he then bought the company from the brothers for a whopping $2.7 million. Moreover Kroc was the mastermind of standardized operations so that consistency was found from restaurant to restaurant. At the time of his passing in 1984, there were 7,500 McDonald’s franchises open worldwide.
