McDonald's page 5 by ric gustafson
Ray Kroc formed McDonald's System Inc in March of 1955. In 1944, Harry Axene, a farm equipment sales manager, invested in a liquid dairy mix that made in a cylinder came out with soft ice cream. John McCullough, a dairy operator from Iowa, watched long lines for the soft ice cream that had just been named Dairy Queen. McCullough began to line up investors to francise Dairy Queen. By 1948, there were 2,500 outlets in operation.
In 1952, a restaurant and motel owner in Corbin Kentucky named Harlan Sanders cooked up dinner for Pete Harmon. That night Harmon had the best fried chicken he had ever tasted. Harmon added the chicken to his Salt Lake City's restaurant's menu and it became the menu's most popular item. Harmon named Sanders chicken Kentucky Fried Chicken. He encouraged Sanders to francise his chicken. By 1986, two hundred and fifty stores had been francised.
In April of 1955, Kroc opened the first McDonald's in the Midwest in Des Plaines Illinois.
