Although the first McDonalds restaurant opened 77 years ago, the first drive-through didn’t open until 1975 in Arizona. This was a revolutionary concept at the time and is still successful today.

What’s interesting is that the drive-through restaurant was inspired by the army. There was a military installation near Fort Huachuca, and soldiers weren’t allowed to leave their cars while they were in full uniform.
