Interesting fact: Ray Kroc ended up becoming a Red Cross ambulance driver (after lying about his age) during the First World War and ended up serving alongside another person who also was in the Red Cross and also happened to lie about his age; a little-known man named Walt Disney.

For those who want to know more about this story, watch the movie The Founder (2016) and you'll see just how Ray Croc manipulated the brothers and literally took advantage of them. Nice video!

[@rochelchase3726]

wow

[@thebewitchinghour831]

Michael Keaton was great in that movie. Good movie.

[@highendforever]

Felt so bad for the brothers

[@madbutler6022]

Great movie. And yeah if that movie is accurate Kroc was a dick

[@jimhoffmann]

I live 30 miles from the original site of McDonald’s in San Bernardino, CA. I highly recommend reading, “Behind the Arches” by John F. Love. As a teacher, I was able to introduce my students (via phone) to Dick’s grandson. He told them that his grandfather felt cheated by Ray Kroc. Kroc apparently had promised them a lifetime royalty - when they sold out to him - which would have been worth many millions.

[@kevinmalone3210]

So my guess is the brothers didn't get the royalty.

[@mrmjb1960]

There also is The Founder with Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc. I suggest that movie too.

[@conniemeissen5213]

That Pieta statue is absolutely beautiful. Thanks, Lamont!

[@debz111]

Who the hell would unlike this video…. Really!? Thumbs down to them 🙄

[@libertygiveme1987]

Thanks Lamont, for another FASCINATING STORY!!!! I ALWAYS thought Ray Croft was the "Founder" of "McDonalds", you certainly proved me wrong. From listening to you though, he sounded like a "Hanger On" who gave very little for something that's worth BILLIONS now!!!! But, in all fairness, no one knew that it would grow into such an ENORMOUS INSTITUTE!!!!

[@misssparky5574]

Tried a McDonalds a few years ago and it was tasteless as I noticed they were microwaving everything. My number 1 is Kentucky fried chicken, you always taste the delicious herbs and spices. First tasted KFC in 1971 and still eat it now. 🇬🇧

[@TheSkete]

From what I remember of the story, there was a lawsuit, in which Ray Croc won. That meant the McDonald Bros. literally couldn't use their own name in any restaurant venture.

[@millennialodyssey5956]

That dude was a thief and he openly boasted about it.

[@jessied8585]

They could have started one called Mickey D's, that's what everyone calls it anyway.

Ray Kroc is an amazing businessman, sure he’s not a nice person, but he got what he came, revolutionized the industry, sold land opposed to stores, and made millions.

[@automatedelectronics6062]

The first McDonald's franchise was opened by Art Bender in Fresno, CA in 1955. Art had worked for the McDonald Bros. at their first restaurant in San Bernardino, CA which opened in 1940 and the McDonald's that we know today was opened in 1948. Art, reportedly, sold the first McDonald's hamburger. After securing the first McDonald's franchise, still at the corner of Blackstone Av. and Shields Av., Art opened many more McDonald's in Central California. Around the time when Art decided to slow things down, he started selling his franchises to the parent McDonald's corp. Eventually he sold everything to McDonald's corp. The main office for McDonald's of California is located in the basement of the McDonald's restaurant, also in Fresno, at 1739 Divisadero.

Appreciate that info. I remember Macdonald's restaurant service ( no drive thru) in the early 70s . You would walk thur the door and be greeted by all the cashier's " Welcome to McDonald's,may we help you". They would take your order, repeat it, give your total. Then would say what amount they received, give you your balance. Here's your order of whatever it was. " Thank you for coming and please come back again. Yes, your orders was always right. Exhale!!!

Like others, I recommend watching the movie 'The Founder' for understanding the gist of how the McDonald brothers were forced out of their own company by Ray Kroc. Also, when I was a kid, my mother was GM of three McDonald's all at the same time. We used to get invited to her boss' house for get-togethers. He owned all the McDonald's in the area, and he was LOADED. Huge house, giant pool, finished basement had a dance floor and a full-size bar, jukebox, the works. They were very, very nice people though...

[@stellarocquie7957]

He died six years before the movie, "Supersize Me" came out. Shame. I wonder what he would have thought about the documentary.

Lamont, thank you for another great video. Everytime I watch you I learn something new. Could you please do a video on Rod Price? He is buried in New Hampshire. Rod Price was the lead and slide guitar player in a hard rock band in the seventies and again later in the nineties called Foghat. His is an interesting story, an excellent guitar player. imo one of the best, and a fantastic human being as well.

They first opened an Juice stand then a Drive In but it became a nightmare for the brothers so they tore it down and built a walk up stand.the first day it was a disaster. Only 6 items on the menu and only one way to serve it. The first one one opened up in Encino California in 1953.
