Recalling its hamburger-stand past, McDonald’s is building a store in Orlando that evokes its original arch-adorned buildings.
The eye-catching restaurant on East Colonial Drive is slated to open Wednesday. It will be the first of its kind in Metro Orlando and among a handful of 1950s-style stores throughout the country.
The store includes hallmarks of early McDonald’s restaurants such as a slanted roofline, glass-plated storefront and sweeping golden arches on the sides of the structure.
Strong sales at existing throwback stores persuaded franchisee Gilchrist Enterprises Inc. to replace its aging McDonald’s on East Colonial near Primrose Drive and invest in a new restaurant.
