A pioneering franchise owner in Philadelphia

Tanya Hill-Holliday started with a part-time job at McDonald’s before eventually becoming the first Black female franchisee for the company in Philadelphia. “I now maintain a portfolio of 12 stores in and around Philadelphia — including all three McDonald’s on Philadelphia’s Main Line — and I pride myself on using each and every store to create opportunities that impact my crew members’ lives,” Hill-Holliday writes.
