MCDONALD'S CANADA

'McDonald's Restaurants of Canada' is the Canadian branch of the popular fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's. One of Canada's largest fast-food restaurant chains, the franchise sells food items including hamburgers, chicken, french fries and soft drinks all across the country. McDonald's is known for its high fat and calorie foods, but it also has alternatives such as salads, deli sandwiches, juices and milk.
McDonald's Canadian operations are based in Don Mills, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto. The current McDonald's Canada President is Louis W. Mele, who started as a crew member.
The company was founded by Chicago born George Cohon. He was responsible for developing the eastern Canadian franchises. The first McDonald's restaurant in Canada was opened in 1967 in Richmond, British Columbia by western franchise owners. It was also the first McDonald's restaurant outside of the United States. In 2006, McDonald's Canada had 1,375 stores (including Wal-Mart Canada locations) in Canada, and more than 77,000 Canadian employees.
