McDonalds opens a new restaurant every 14.5 hours.
When Ray Kroc opened the Original McDonald’s in Illinois, he had a dream of expanding the franchise across the globe with more than 1000 outlets in the States itself. Remaining consistent with its guarantee, McDonald’s widened its worldwide handle by opening joints outside the US as early as 1967.
The first international outlets were opened in Canada and Peurto Rico. By January 2018, McDonald’s was situated in 120 nations and had about 37200 cafés with 1.9 million workers. It was serving more than 69 million individuals every day. At one point in time, McDonald’s was opening a new outlet every 14.5 hours!
