Par. 8 & 9: The chain store business model
McDonald's
brothers innovated the operation of a hamburger restaurant into a fast
food business in California in 1948.
The fast-food
business was copied and grew rapidly at a time when the
economy was growing, and automobiles became popular among families.
This business
model was so efficient that other new restaurants chains emerged and
expanded nationwide, such as Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The chain store
business model was soon adopted by other retail businesses like clothing stores and
hotels and became an international phenomenon.
