In 1954, Ray Kroc approached brothers Richard "Dick" & Maurice "Mac" McDonald about franchising their hamburger stand. Dick & Mac opened the McDonald Brothers' Burger Bar in 1940, but Ray Kroc is credited as the founder of the McDonald's corporation. He purchased the franchising license from the brothers in 1954 and opened the first McDonald's restaurant in 1955 in Des Plaines, Illinois.

52 yrs old. And yes I knew by heart but after this other person answered a wrong answer, I checked his source and yes, I'm still right and some people can't add. He started operation in 1954.
