For many kids, getting a McDonald’s on a long drive would be the ultimate treat. And if you grew up in or around Cambridgeshire in the 1990s, you’ll probably remember getting a Happy Meal at the spaceship McDonald’s just off the A1 at Alconbury, near Huntingdon.
Originally built in 1990 as a Megatron, the restaurant was going to be the first of many in the chain. But the plans never happened, and instead the building became a McDonald’s in 1993.
The UFO Maccies sadly closed in 2000 due to soaring maintenance costs. It then remained empty for a number of years before it was demolished in 2008.

Something similar was build in other places. I was reading an article about sth similar https://filing.pl/33-najdziwniejsze-restauracje-mcdonalds-na-swiecie/.
ReplyDeleteWhen it was megatron it had touch screen ordering between 1990 and 1993 yet McDonald's ripped that all out and didn't bring it in till decades later was ahead of its time
