Location of the first Mcdonald's in Nottingham

The first McDonald's in Nottingham is the one on Clumber Street. As for when it opened I would say that was in the middle 1980s. The easiest way to be certain and to find out about the others is to pop into the Archives Office on Wilford Road (when it reopens) and go through the old telephone directories for Nottingham.

 

The funny thing is that in 1980 I spent three months living in the USA and when i came back I tried to persuade my father to invest in a McDonald's franchise. He wasn't impressed as he could not see the difference between it and a chip shop.:unsure:

That's got to be a multi-million pound understatement.

I'd guess that many of the multi site Franchisee's are multi-millionaires.

 

The article below would suggest Nottingham Clumber Street was open in 1982, may have been earlier, as the Franchisee of Yorks and North Lincs (14 sites) started in Nottingham as a trainee Manager around 1982.

The current Nottingham Franchisee has at least 9 sites and his wife 1, Basford.
