The business was founded in 1940 with a restaurant opened by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald.

Quote:

Richard "Dick" McDonald (February 16, 1909 – July 14, 1998) and Maurice "Mac" McDonald (November 26, 1902 – December 1971) were two early American fast food pioneers, originally from New Hampshire, who established the first McDonald's restaurant in 1940. The McDonald family were of Irish origin, not of Scottish origin, as sometimes stated (McDonald is an extremely common name in both countries). However this has come under scrutiny with recent genealogy showing the family originated from Glencoe, Scotland. This was brought to light when McDonald's refused to put menus in Scottish Gaelic, locals argued this was the McDonald ancestral home and not putting menus in gaelic was an insult to the brothers' heritage.
