    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.

    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!!!!

    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.

    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.

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!!!

    My first job was at McDonald's 😂 I was just a young teenager. I will always remember we were busy and a man came in front of me and gave me his order and said I have a taxi waiting please go as fast as possible. I filled it without waiting for the other's and he paid me and handed me $20.00 this is a tip and ran out. 😂😂😂 like I was going to say anything to anyone 😂😂😂

    I know you've done McDonald's now and you've done Dave from Wendy's and Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken, hopefully you can do others like Burger King, Taco Bell,Little Ceasars and other franchises cause I learn so much about them from you and getting to see their final resting places is awesome. Like all of your Vlogs,another one I really enjoy Lemont, stay safe and I will look out for more of them.

    Up until now the only thing I knew about McDonald’s was Ray Kroc. I didn’t know about the McDonald’s family. Very thorough work done by this UA-cam channel. These stories are incredible to watch and listen too.

    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...

    Actually, Ray FORCED THEM OUT... they didn't willingly sell.... There is a few books on the topic and history and even a movie which is pretty close to the story. Also, you need to stop getting all your input from Wiki Lamont. LOL Apple Pies were not introduced to the Menu until 1968; the same year the Big Mac came out. McDonald's Start was in 1955 and there was only 9 menu items which were; The Hamburger, Cheese Burger, Fries, Milk, Coke, Milk Shake, Root beer, the "Orange-Drink" which we know today as HI-C, and Coffee. For those interested; Ray Kroc managed to steal McD's by taking advice from a man by the name of Harry J. Sonneborn who taught Ray to buy property and then when new McDonald's interests came aboard they would have to pick a location owned by Ray in order to build the McDonald's. They would be leasing the land from Ray for their McDonald's to be built. When this happened this enabled Ray to be able to barrow the money to pay out the McDonald's brothers. Sadly, the agreement was NOT read in full because in that buy-out agreement it stated that the brother's would no longer be able to legally use the word/name McDonald's on any of their current or future businesses because McDonald's would become a trademark owned by Ray. Why? Because the brothers did not know that you could OWN a name and Ray was the one who got the name/word McDonald's trademarked. So, safe to say he went behind their backs. Same thing with their "Speedy System"... the brother's name trademarked it all, but Ray did. The Major Sad Reality is Ray had agreed to pay 1% Royalties to the brother's for as long as McDonald's was in business, but that agreement was made by a simple Hand-Shake which Ray later denied happen. Since the only people in the room was Ray and Ray's own people with the McDonald's brothers (the brothers never got an attorney or anyone else to go with them when they went to sign this agreement stuff), there was no way the brother's could prove this agreement. So, the brother's never seen one penny from the royalty agreement.

    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.
