McDonald’s is a timeless corporation. It feels like the company’s been around forever, and it’s hard to imagine a time when there wasn’t a Mickey D’s on every block. The first McDonald’s in Kansas has been in Wichita for more than 50 years! This recently remodeled location has been serving up burgers and fries for so long that many of us can’t remember a time before its existence. It’s a pretty cool history. If you’re interested in a little local lore along with your burger, pack your favorite suitcase and head to this Wichita McDonald’s.
