Our Values
The backbone of our brand is, and always has been, a commitment to a set of core values that define who we are and how our business and McDonald’s restaurants are run. When we live our values every day and use them to make decisions – big and small – we define McDonald’s as a brand that crew, and the people we serve, can trust.
Our values are the filter through which all business decisions are made because actions speak louder than words.
Serve
We put our guests and people first.
Inclusion
We open our doors to everyone.
Integrity
We do the right thing.
Community
We are good neighbours.
Family
We get better together.

Requirements
Becoming a franchisee is a big commitment, both in time and finances, but the reward is worth it. Business valuations for existing restaurants differ. As a result, minimum equity requirements will vary.
What We Are Looking For
McDonald’s is looking for individuals who like to be involved in their communities. An ideal franchisee is a McDonald’s “brand fan” who is a hands-on people person, has good judgment and is driven to succeed. Talk to us today to find out about how we can support you on your journey to owning your own McDonald’s franchise.
Meet our Franchisees
I began my McDonald’s career at 15 years old, working with my dad who was a McDonald’s franchisee. I’m a proud second-generation franchise owner. I purchased his business in 2012 after spending time honing my skills in the applicant program. We put our guests and people first. Every decision we make as an organization considers, ‘What does this mean for all of our guests and people?

I have very fond memories growing up loving McDonald’s, celebrating my birthdays at McDonald’s. McDonald’s was always a place where we shared a lot of happy moments.
Obviously, the business model was also appealing to me – that’s how I got into the brand. Being part of the McDonald’s Family means being part of something that is bigger than myself.
— Jason Ammar
From Day 1, McDonald’s has demonstrated that they cared about their people and I feel very fortunate to have joined this organization. An organization’s values have always been of utmost importance for me, from my time as a retail consultant in the oil industry and now as a McDonald’s owner operator.
Our values have always aligned in wanting to build stronger connections with our neighbours and making Canada a place we can all be proud to live. For me, it’s always been about investing in people. I try to do that every day and when I need any resources to go further with my people, McDonald’s is right there. I love having a partner that has a growth mindset and allows me the space to push the brand.

If I could offer any advice to someone thinking about being a McDonald’s franchisee, I would highly recommend that they take advantage of the opportunity, as it’s amazing. All the hard work you put in, will most definitely pay off. The whole experience from beginning to end has been incredibly rewarding.
— Deborah Feaver
I was set up for success from the day that I started. I’m so grateful for the franchisees that trained me and taught me how to run a McDonald’s business successfully. When I did get my restaurants, I hit the ground running and it’s been amazing. And I’m proud to say that after so many years I’m now giving back and training potential franchisees in my restaurant.
— Sarah Douglas
It’s exciting to see the impact we’re having with our staff and the community, and to put roots down that way. Every time we go into the restaurant and see our customers, or go out into our community and see what we’ve accomplished, just makes us so proud.
