Ron Bailey

Ron Bailey is the owner/operator of 22 McDonald's restaurants. Ron began his journey of building a business in 1990, when his job as a Los Angeles police officer turned into a manager trainee position at McDonald's in the Bronx, New York. Privileged to work with his parents, who were new McDonald's operators, Ron was able to learn the business from the ground up.

He worked all shifts and all crew and managerial positions until 1994, when he was given the opportunity to purchase his very first McDonald's restaurant. It was at this restaurant, located in Brooklyn, that Ron met and hired his first employees, three of whom would go on to play a pivotal role in the history of his company. Lillian Lima, Heather Fields, and Segundo Rodriquez all joined Ron when he decided to move his young family from New York to Winston Salem, North Carolina in 1996.  These three employees continue to work with the company to this day.

Ron's vision for his organization is to grow and build as many stores as possible through strategic acquisitions that make sense for the long-term health of the organization. He is also a passive real estate investor and non-directional index and equities option trader.
