The first McDonald's franchise was set up by Ray Kroc in 1955 and came
to Woolwich SE London UK in 1974, starting a long and successful
reign as the fast food burger champions. The first UK McDonald's franchise
however was not sold until 1986, paving the way for 200 over the
following few years. Even through many recessions and unstable economic
climates they have came through smiling and have a constant awareness
of market demands enabling them to change and adapt to the needs of the
consumer.
As McDonald's franchising is such a huge brand we at The Franchise Shop
have seen a surge in website traffic since listing them, showing that
there is a huge interest in purchasing this franchise. However if you
think that buying a McDonald's franchise is the quick start to success
then you need to think again, it is far more than just managing a few
"burger flippers" and you will be sent on a rigorous training program
for 9 months before being let loose with your franchise. Neither is it
a low cost franchise to buy into, the McDonald's franchise fee is one
of the largest in the UK and you will need a minimum 50,000 in capital
before you will be considered.
There are many multi unit McDonald's franchise owners in the UK, when
managed correctly they can be huge earners and their franchisees know
this well. Read the case study of Martin Cuthbert's success as a multi unit McDonald's franchising owner.
