The McDonald's Museum and Store Number 1 is the site where Ray Kroc first opened his hamburger restaurant in 1955. The museum was restored to be a replica of store number one, the original restaurant, along with the golden arches. The original entrance sign with "Speedee", the early cartoon mascot, is on-site along with exhibits of original fry vats, milkshake mixers and grills.
Over the years, McDonald's has grown to be the "world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants". Visit the McDonald's across the street for a tasty meal, snack or milkshake. While in Des Plaines, stay with Best Western hotels, minutes from the museum and seventeen miles from the Chicago loop.
