Insight
McDonald's built its wealth by owning and leasing land to franchisees
“What made McDonald's wealthy was owning or controlling the land under every restaurant. Franchisees paid rent. That rent was McDonald's real income. It was steady, it was predictable, and it was growing with every new location.”
