The First McDonald's

Whenever i get bored, i open Wikipedia and start typing anything that comes to my mind...this time it was McDonald's and actually found some interesting stuff...here they are...

"The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedee Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion."

Revenue: $20.460 Billion USD (2005)
Net income: $2.602 Billion USD (2005)
Employees: 447,000 (2005)

I thought that they make more money than that...another interesting thing i found was a picture of the first McDonald's...looks kind of cool...
