GOLDEN ARCHES DEVELOPMENT CORP

Golden Arches Development Corporation (GADC) is the company that holds the exclusive franchise to operate McDonald's restaurants in the Philippines. It is a prominent player in the Philippine quick-service restaurant industry, managing and expanding the McDonald's brand across the country.

Regarding whether it is a factory or a trader:

Golden Arches Development Corporation is neither a factory nor a traditional trader. It is primarily a food service company that operates a chain of restaurants and functions as the franchisor for the McDonald's brand in the Philippines. While it sources ingredients and supplies from various manufacturers and suppliers (acting as a buyer), its core business involves the preparation, sale, and service of food directly to consumers through its restaurant establishments, rather than manufacturing goods or engaging in commodity trading.
