Opened in 1940, San Bernadino, CA. 78 years of age.

Dick and Mac McDonald opened up the first McDonald’s with the intention of selling some great barbecue products. It wasn’t long before they decided to lose that idea and replace it with a menu that featured 9 different items: hamburger, cheeseburger, three soft drinks, milk, coffee, potato chips, pie, French fries, and milkshakes. Their success slowly but surely started to take place, and now, McDonald’s is one of, if not the most famous fast food place on earth.
