Our founding father Ray Kroc once said, %uFFFDMcDonald%uFFFDs is a people business%uFFFD. We operate with the belief that it%uFFFDs essential to be a part of the communities that we serve.

As the leading food-service provider in the United States, we serve a variety of wholesome options to more than 26 million customers every day. We are proud of our quality ingredients and famous items like World Famous Fries, the Big Mac, the Quarter Pounder, Chicken McNuggets, the Egg McMuffin and a range of delicious gourmet McCaf%uFFFD coffees and beverages. Nearly 90 percent of McDonald%uFFFDs 14,000 U.S. restaurants are independently owned and operated by local business men and women.

While we are a food service business, we don%uFFFDt stop there. Our involvement in youth sports, local charities and events that inspire the world are held at a high regard. Along the way, we%uFFFDve managed to not just live history, but create it: from drive thru restaurants to Chicken McNuggets to college credits from Hamburger University. It%uFFFDs been quite a journey, and we promise this is just the beginning.
