Just
for the fun of it, I went to the World’s Oldest McDonald’s. It opened in 1953 as a franchise with the
original McDonald’s owners, not Ray Kroc.
It’s
just a few miles from the plant I’m visiting in LA. The design of the place is unique. You order at a counter outside, pick up your
order at another window, and then eat in a different open-air building.
There’s
a sign outside explaining the history and it even has a museum. It has stuff like this, a multi-mixer for
shakes. Because the McDonald brothers
ordered five of these machines, Ray Kroc flew out to California just to see
their operations and find out why it was so popular.
Ray Kroc bought out the business in 1955.
Speedee
was the original logo for McDonald’s.
Ronald McDonald came into being in 1963 with Willard Scott as the first
Ronald. Love his hat!
I haven’t eaten at a McDonald’s in years, but the food and service was good while the "ambiance" was great!
