McDonald’s store #1

McDonald's Corporation held onto the patch of property west of Chicago where franchise Store #1 stood; Ray Kroc (founder of McDonalds) first opened for business there on April 15, 1955. The structure was eventually restored as an accurate replica of Store #1 (not serving food). A modern McDonald's opened for business right across the street.
