I worked in a McDonald's in England for three years and loved it. I trained to become a floor manager but decided to go off to college instead and didn't stay long enough to take the exam. Part of the exam prep was the history of McDonald's. I later moved to Redlands, CA in 1992. I remember visiting the site of the original McDonald's and it was emotional. I didn't know the full history before watching the film, but I knew enough to know that I was at the place where McDonald's was born. I loved this video, thank you for sharing.
Great video! I will be sure to visit that museum, as well as the Downey location, since they still sell the fried pies! Criminal that you can’t get a fried apple or cherry pie at all of the McDonald’s anymore!
All the McDonalds, over 90 locations, here in hawaii still sell fried apple pies as well. They sold baked apple pies for a few years in the late 90s, but went back to the fried apple pies due to popular demand.
This is a great museum 😀 i like how they have all of the mcdonald's toys and memorabilia in this museum 🙂 i got to go check out this museum 🙂👍 it looks cool 😎👍.
I remember going to a McDonald's with my dad as kid in SoCal. Wasn't there a McDonald's that was in a old train somewhere around there? That was a cool one to check out.
We used to eat at the one in San Bernardino back when I was pup in the '60's, think it was the first time I ate 2. Hamburgers mom made were always too dry. That movie is a good one, interesting to know about how the restaurant got started and how successful it was too.
We were in the Philippines when the Beanie Baby of the Chinese New Year came out. We wanted to buy the whole set with the box for our kids. We paid for it and they said to give them a minute while we eat to put them together. We didn't know but they actually sent employees to 3 different McDonalds to assemble the whole collection.
Nice video! For anyone planning to visit this just please do not get lost in San Bernardino. You will feel like you're in an episode of the walking dead.
Honestly 😂 no offense to anyone living there but it was such an eerie city. Felt almost abandoned. 90% of the people I saw outside were either under the influence of drugs or mentally unwell. And that's coming from an Angeleno.
That explains why the food went downhill because Maurice and Richard(Dick) McDonald focused on quality while efficient though still maintaining that consumable natural quality food. When Ray Kroc took over the business officially in 1961, McDonalds Lost their true founders authenticity quality food to make sure it is not giving unsafe chemicals for they cared more about a successful business with earning the success not stealing others ideas then take the easy way out to make profit. Which honestly I think they were more focused on making sure the quality of the food and drinks is just as good as the quantity and efficiency. Making sure they don’t feed their customers garbage or chemicals. I really want to try the original mcdonalds bros fries recipe 😩
Unfortunately, Mac died early. Dick McDonald lived till he was 89. I saw a documentary about Dick McDonald and they showed his house. It wasn't no poor house.
