Oldest Operating McDonalds Restaurant In The World

Thanks so much for tagging along with me today . If you missed the previous video you can see it here https://youtu.be/BVdudykQZ5g . Also my Instagram name is AdamTheWooATW

Hope they never demolish it or “remodel it”

Why does a building from decades ago suddenly look so futuristic?

Adam, I grew up in that area. We were extremely poor and lack of food was the norm. When this McD's opened, I'll never forget going over there. We paid .10 for burgers, .15 for cheeseburgers, .10 for fries, .10 for beverages. The five of us ate and ate and ate and ate.....and then my dad actually said, "I'm getting more. Who wants more?" It was SO GOOD and I had never had that much food at one time in my life. It was a day none of us have ever forgotten. We had relatives in Downey on Brunache (not far from Firestone and Stewart & Gray.) We lived in Maywood on Everett Ave as well as in Huntington Park on Hollenbeck.

Going to this particular McDonald's is like taking a time machine into 1953! May this one never go away.

I`m 62 I use to eat there when they opened. Two cheeseburgers, fries, and a drink for under a buck. But if you wanted ketchup it cost 4 cents extra and they put it in a little white cup. BELIEVE IT or not.

When you go to that old Mcdonald's restaurant, you are in the 1950's.. PRETTY AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I've been to this location dozens and dozens of times for both lunch and dinner. And to think they were going to get rid of this building, and took the local citizens of Downey and the untiring efforts to keep this location today. I was one of those that signed a petition to keep it here and open. And have been there for many tributes and events. This truly never gets old. And there is something special about ordering a burger, fries and shake here.

The Downey restaurant was franchised directly by the McDonald brothers themselves before Ray Kroc got involved with them, which is why it remained exempt from corporation mandates regarding updating buildings.

My grandfather, Dad, and I went to a protest to save this McDonald’s in around 95 or 96. He was a dentist in Downey for many years. Brings me back.

First time I ate there, was 1959.

14:42 Ronald is gonna lock you up like those two employees lol

Thankyou for sharing. This is so cool to watch

"I'm sorry, we stopped serving breakfast in 1959"

That's a cool looking McDonald's ..I like the way it looks better then the ones we have now..

Wow, I'm watching this 4 years later. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

Just finished watching your Mc Donald’s video. Myself and my family visited and drove by this Mc Donald’s many years bcuz my family lived in Whittier CA! Who knew many years later would be shown on YouTube channel. Thank you for showing this on your YouTube channel!

It takes a lot of guts to walk into a public place and talk to the camera in front of people. Mad respect

5:12 you could order the entire menu for $1.29.

Ahh, the Good Ole Days! Truly Amazing! Great video Adam.👍👍
