Golden arches? The savory scent of French fries? A McD burger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is, after all, one of the world&#8217;s largest and most recognizable fast food chains. However, behind the iconic &#8216;M&#8217; and the Happy Meals, there exists a strategic business model that primarily revolves around real estate, rather than just food and beverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McDonald&#8217;s isn&#8217;t merely a bustling hive of flipping burgers and dishing out fries; it is a real estate empire, one of the largest in the world. The business model that Ray Kroc, the man who bought the company from the original McDonald brothers and transformed it into the juggernaut we know today, employed is rather ingenious. Instead of focusing solely on food and beverages, he realized that the real money wasn&#8217;t in the food sold, but in the land upon which each McDonald&#8217;s was built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This revelation led to the foundation of the Franchise Realty Corporation, a move that allowed McDonald&#8217;s to not only sell franchises of their restaurants but also to buy and control the land upon which franchises were built. The company would then lease the land to the franchisee who, on top of paying for the right to use the McDonald&#8217;s brand and business model, would also pay rent to the parent company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only that, McDonald&#8217;s has long been recognized for its &#8220;Think Global, Act Local&#8221; strategy, which is also often referred to as &#8220;glocalization&#8221;. This strategy has been instrumental in the company&#8217;s global success, allowing it to expand into numerous markets around the world, while still maintaining a strong local appeal. One prime example of McDonald&#8217;s successful use of the &#8220;Think Global, Act Local&#8221; strategy is the menu variations seen from one country to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the next time you bite into a McD burger, remember that you&#8217;re not just patronizing a global food and beverage brand, but a robust and resilient real estate giant cleverly disguised in the cheerful shades of the Golden Arches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2757\ufe0fUSEFUL LINKS\u2757\ufe0f<br>\u2705Moomoo Complete Playlist\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNtoL6rfNKdkSzTaZbukmY9UeyPM_6Klm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2022 Moomoo Trading<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705Full Interactive Brokers Playlist\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNtoL6rfNKdmoHyOx4ft2q9L3ue1HjE8n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2022 Interactive Brokers Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705Beginner&#8217;s Step-By-Step Playlist to Start Investing \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNtoL6rfNKdkmIijHCaNqj19QaWzXWY1q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2022 Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Investing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705Start Investing in the U.S. market now!\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNtoL6rfNKdm_1un9xXF5zv7-lsaLwgVV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2022 Investing in the US market<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Playlist \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLNtoL6rfNKdk74aq-253KcjLIFfn9Z6Y4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2022 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705\ud83c\udfa5All the gears that I use to make my YouTube videos:<a href=\"https:\/\/kit.co\/Ziet\/youtube-gears\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> https:\/\/kit.co\/Ziet\/youtube-gears<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#f5f5f7\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Follow Ziet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links has-icon-color is-style-default is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-social-links-is-layout-1 wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\"><li style=\"color: var(u002du002dast-global-color-5);

Golden arches? The savory scent of French fries? A McD burger? It is, after all, one of the world&#8217;s largest and most recognizable fast food chains. However, behind the iconic &#8216;M&#8217; and the Happy Meals, there exists a strategic business model that primarily revolves around real estate, rather than just food and beverage. McDonald&#8217;s isn&#8217;t merely a bustling hive of flipping burgers and dishing out fries; it is a real estate empire, one of the largest in the world. The business model that Ray Kroc, the man who bought the company from the original McDonald brothers and transformed it into the juggernaut we know today, employed is rather ingenious. Instead of focusing solely on food and beverages, he realized that the real money wasn&#8217;t in the food sold, but in the land upon which each McDonald&#8217;s was built. This revelation led to the foundation of the Franchise Realty Corporation, a move that allowed McDonald&#8217;s to not only sell franchises of their restaurants but also to buy and control the land upon which franchises were built. The company would then lease the land to the franchisee who, on top of paying for the right to use the McDonald&#8217;s brand and business model, would also pay rent to the parent company. Not only that, McDonald&#8217;s has long been recognized for its &#8220;Think Global, Act Local&#8221; strategy, which is also often referred to as &#8220;glocalization&#8221;. This strategy has been instrumental in the company&#8217;s global success, allowing it to expand into numerous markets around the world, while still maintaining a strong local appeal. One prime example of McDonald&#8217;s successful use of the &#8220;Think Global, Act Local&#8221; strategy is the menu variations seen from one country to another. So, the next time you bite into a McD burger, remember that you&#8217;re not just patronizing a global food and beverage brand, but a robust and resilient real estate giant cleverly disguised in the cheerful shades of the Golden Arches. \u2757\ufe0fUSEFUL LINKS\u2757\ufe0f\u2705Moomoo Complete Playlist\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u2022 Moomoo Trading \u2705Full Interactive Brokers Playlist\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u2022 Interactive Brokers Guide \u2705Beginner&#8217;s Step-By-Step Playlist to Start Investing \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u2022 Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Investing \u2705Start Investing in the U.S. market now!\ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u2022 Investing in the US market \u2705Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Playlist \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffb\u2022 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) \u2705\ud83c\udfa5All the gears that I use to make my YouTube videos: https:\/\/kit.co\/Ziet\/youtube-gears Follow Ziet Disclaimer: The content on this channel is for educational purposes only and merely cites my own personal opinions.
