McDonald's Reveals 50th Anniversary Restaurant DesignRonald McDonald, McDonald's Chief Happiness Officer, today introduced the bold, one-of-a-kind futuristic restaurant design which will be the company's Chicago flagship site at 600 N. Clark St. Today's event marks the beginning of the company's 50th anniversary celebration. McDonald's founder Ray Kroc opened his first restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15, 1955.
The new restaurant, slated to open in April 2005, will meld the past with the future by incorporating Ray's 'red and white' design of his first McDonald's while offering customers a contemporary restaurant with Wi-Fi and other innovative features.
"We're thrilled that McDonald's has decided to rebuild on this site in honor of their 50th anniversary next year," said Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. "This new restaurant will be a landmark destination for tourists and city residents. The company has done a great job creating a unique and attractive destination, and we are pleased that McDonald's is participating in the city's Green Roof initiative by integrating rooftop greenery into the design."
This destination will replace the "Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's," which is the third busiest McDonald's restaurant in the United States, and 12th busiest in the world. Highlighted by two 60-ft. tall Golden Arches, the flagship site will serve twice as many customers
