If McDonald’s named after its founders’ first names rather than last name, what would it be
Had McDonald’s been named after the first names of its founders rather than their last name, it would have been named Richard & Maurice’s. The establishment was founded by siblings Richard McDonald and Maurice McDonald, who launched their inaugural eatery in San Bernardino, California, during the 1940s. Their enterprise captured the interest of Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine vendor, who became part of the company in 1954. Subsequently, Kroc acquired the exclusive privileges to the McDonald’s name and business model and, in 1961, bought out the company from the McDonald brothers for $2.7 million.
