I know! I am a bit suspicious of the 38,000 claim though.

Where was the first McDonald’s store in Melbourne?

This website says it’s the store in Glen Waverley.

Subway man conspiracy theory vibes. :thinking: :joy: :rofl:

It is correct. It is still located on the corner of High Street Road and Springvale Road. It opened in 1973 and was the second McDonald’s store in Australia.

And it’s still operational?

It is. The restaurant was demolished and rebuilt in 2016. This photo was taken in December 2022 for Google Maps.

A time capsule was placed on the north west corner of the site when McDonald’s first opened. The capsule was lifted in 2000.
