McDonald’s opened a restaurant on a ski slope in Sweden called McSki in 1996. It offers a full menu and indoor seating for 140 people. McDonald’s has unique locations worldwide, such as an all-glass restaurant in Georgia and a UFO-shaped one in New Mexico.
The mountain wasn’t going to come from McDonald’s, so McDonald’s went to the mountain. The popular fast-food chain boasts nearly 37,000 restaurants worldwide, but perhaps none are as surprising as the one found on a ski slope in Sweden. Located in the mountain ski resort of Lindvallen, about 200 miles (322 km) from Stockholm, the so-called McSki franchise operates a full-menu restaurant for those who want to fuel up on a Big Mac and fries after a downhill run. . Opened in 1996, the restaurant has a window for those in a hurry, but for those who just don’t want to indulge, there’s also the warmer 140-seat indoor option. This could be especially interesting in the winter when temperatures can drop as low as -60 degrees F (-51 C).
There’s gold in those bows:
The average McDonald’s brings in $2.6 billion dollars a year, but franchisees need at least $1 million to open one.
There’s a McDonald’s inside an old airplane in New Zealand, an all-glass McDonald’s in the Republic of Georgia, and a UFO-shaped McDonald’s in Roswell, New Mexico.
When the McDonald brothers opened their first restaurant in 1937 in Arcadia, California, they sold hot dogs, not hamburgers.
