The history of McDonald's Mieth

Essay from the year 1999 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, 26 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Going for a walk through a deserted alley in the city at night, watching the stars shining above, it might not seldom happen that you notice a yellow glow from behind a corner. When having curiously turned around it, perceiving a creepy loud rumbling, you spot that the glow comes from a big shining "M" floating in the air. The symbol becomes bigger and bigger the nearer you walk towards it, your pulse rises and having finally reached the "M" you open the door of the McDonald's restaurant and enter to have a burger to stop the rumbling of your stomach. Meanwhile, there is a McDonald's in every big city at nearly every corner. But where does McDonald's originally come from? This thesis gives a summary of the history of McDonald's - one of the most widespread companies in the world.
