“Can I have some fries with that?”
Isaac Green of Aquasco spent many a high school basketball game enduring such taunts about his after-school job at McDonald’s. Today, he still is ready to respond to the question, only now as the owner of eight McDonald’s franchises throughout Maryland.
Green, 47, began franchising with the Oak Brook, Ill., fast-food giant in the early 2000s and now employs 450 people at his locations, which pull in $21 million in total annual sales, he said. His eateries include four in Prince George’s County, one at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda and three in Virginia. His goal is to have 15 stores within the next two years and 30 within the next five.
