- McDonald's Corporation McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) operates the world's largest quick-service restaurant chain, serving approximately 69 million customers daily through more than 41,000 locations across over 119 countries and territories. The company offers a core menu featuring hamburgers such as the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder, cheeseburgers, French fries, chicken products including McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches, fish items, breakfast selections like the Egg McMuffin, soft drinks, shakes, desserts, coffee via McCafé, salads, wraps, and localized vegetarian and regional fare; it also provides value meals such as Happy Meals for children, family bundles, and seasonal items like the McRib and Shamrock Shake, with delivery services through partnerships including Uber Eats. McDonald's generates revenue from company-operated restaurants, franchise royalties, fees, and real estate leasing, owning around 70% of restaurant buildings and 45% of underlying land which it leases to franchisees, while operating primarily through a franchised model supplemented by owned outlets. Founded in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald in San Bernardino, California, with Ray Kroc establishing the corporation in 1955, the company maintains global headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, targeting families, young consumers, and urban demographics with affordable, convenient fast food adapted to local tastes, such as no-beef options in India, beer in Germany, and millet-based buns in select markets. Recent developments include the 2024 termination of its U.S. partnership with Krispy Kreme due to mounting costs, a 2024 partnership with Hendata SRL in Paraguay's Gran Chaco region for sustainable beef sourcing, McDonald's Corporation's acquisition of Carlyle's minority stake in McDonald's China in 2023 increasing its ownership to 48% followed by the CITIC Capital consortium's expanded controlling interest to 52% in 2024, achievement of 96% elimination of gestation crates in U.S. pork supply, transition to 100% cage-free eggs in the United States ahead of schedule in 2024, launch of the CosMc's beverage-focused concept with initial U.S. sites in 2023 and expansion plans into Texas by late 2024, and reporting of third-quarter 2025 earnings reflecting ongoing operational adaptations amid global challenges.
