One Last Time In San Bernardino - The First McDonald's

On route 66 in San Bernardino you pass the site of the first McDonald's where there is a museum displaying artifacts from Mc Donalds restaurants around the world. It's never crowded and yet always has visitors. People come from all around the world to walk the isles of full cases and well arranged items from every aspect of the growth of the McDonald brother's endeavors.

In 1940, Dick and Mac McDonald opened McDonald’s Barbecue Restaurant in San Bernardino, California, at 14th st. and E St. They had a staff of 20 carhops and a 25 item menu that included barbecue ribs, beef, and pork sandwiches. They soon became the #1 teen hangout in the San Bernardino.

In October of 1948, the brothers took the plunge (against the advice of all their customers) and closed their successful restaurant, terminated all their carhops, reduced their menu to cheeseburgers, hamburgers, milkshakes, and fountain sodas, and reorganized their kitchen in order to specialize in speed of service, simplicity of menu, and low prices. Their revolutionary thinking forever changed the restaurant industry.
