It Is Never Too Late!

He was 52 years old when an opportunity arose which would allow him to become his personal best

At the time he was a Multimixer salesman, the five spindle milkshake mixer

He did not say "I am too old to start something new"
He did not say "let someone else do this"

Instead he got on a plane and flew to California and spent a full day observing the "opportunity"

The "Opportunity" was McDonald's Restaurant, owned and operated by the McDonald brothers.
He watched their operation and
in a display of salesmanship, convinced the brothers to make him their exclusive agent.

His name was Ray Kroc and the rest as they say, "Is History"

In 1954 Ray Kroc opened his own McDonald's drive-in in Des Plaines, Illinois. He officially established the McDonald's Corporation which was to become the largest fastfood chain in the world.

Who hasn't eaten under the "Golden Arches"?
Who hasn't "Kept their eyes on their fries"/
Who can forget
"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun"?

McDonald's has become part of the North American culture!

Ray Kroc died on January 14, 1984 of old age. At the time he was worth an estimated $500 million.

With Courage, Desire and Choice, he had achieved 'His Personal Best'
