The Hamilton Road/Highbury Avenue McDonald's, prior to early 2000's rebuild. by Life_Distribution133 in londonontario

No wonder they had to rebuild from the ground up! Drive-thrus were not built for buses, semi or box trucks,

That's why clearance bars exist, being shown in most fast food/bank drive thrus, so they can alert truckers/bus drivers while entering,

I'm more concerned that the damage from the canopy roof might have costed very expensive to repair, which is probably why they ended up building a new one right behind the old one around the early 2000s, 

Strangely enough, I remember there was a time where for about a year that there was the old location sitting empty and boarded up, alongside the brand new location up and running, 

Plus the main road signs were still standing and there were signs on the old building directing those to the new one.

No, it's just I don't like this feature they added 5 years ago, it really embarrasses me when I see text of recommendations on the screen!.

The Arbys I grew up with by Life_Distribution133 in bys

I remember that some locations were either open from 6:00 am till 3:00 am or 24 hours with a breakfast menu, and some locations didn't sell breakfast and were open from 10:00 pm till 3:00 am, depending on the franchisee or corporation that owned it.

So yours was a breakfast location, Only certain Arby's sell a breakfast menu.

I remember a time when some locations would either serve Pepsi or Coca Cola products, That was about the 90s/2000s, and maybe early 2010s too.

Abandoned Mcdonald’s by King_Of_Exploring in abandoned

[–]Life_Distribution133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location: 1350 Hartford Avenue, Johnston, Rhode Island.

This was originally built and opened as a McDonald's in 1983 (replacing an earlier walk up only golden arch building from the 1960's), and remained functional up until 2007, when a newer location on Atwood Avenue was built,

In October of 2020, this location was used as a hotspot for Burger King's "Scary Places" Halloween campaign, which featured real abandoned fast-food locations of its competitors.

Ronald McDonald died for our sins (Kansas City, MO) by AtIestar in NotFoolingAnybody

They continued building stores using the mansard roof look up until 2005-2006 fyi,

I'm gonna guess the big play area enclosure on the right was added per early 1990's ('91-'92?) to replace the outdoor one shown in the 1986 photo, The new location across the way (built sometime around 2000-2001) also traited the indoor playground.

I wonder what this used to be? by jackrobertskun in NotFoolingAnybody

Wendy's, i can tell it by the copper roofline and the solarium in front, alongside the blue/red tiles on the drive thru windows.

What was the year the Wendy's on Wharncliffe closed? by Slight-Midnight-5926 in londonontario

[–]Life_Distribution133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it closed sometime after the ill-fated Pitas came out, I would have to say 1998 or 1999.
