For a restaurant business that is all over the world, McDonald’s had very simple beginnings. This worldwide fast food brand began when Ray Krok bought a small burger joint owned by Dick and Mac McDonald.

Yang brought the Golden Arches to Morayta, Manila and opened the very first McDonald’s restaurant in 1981, which still stands to this day. The fast food restaurant began their Philippine expansion in 1992, when stores were put up in Visayas and Mindanao. After 36 years of being in the Philippines, the McDonald’s Corporation of the Yang family is now a multibillion-Peso company with over 500 stores (McDonald’s Corporation).

The fast food restaurant, founded by Tony Tan and his family in 1975, began as just an ice cream parlor and later expanded to become the number one market leader for fast food in the Philippines.
