City of Industry, California - Fake TV McDonald's

This TV McDonald's has been demolished and rebuilt to resemble the new prototype McDonald's store that is being rolled out across the country. It is still being used for commercials. [Nichols, 08/31/2006]

This is a fake McDonald's built for their commercials and movies(just about any commercial you see, and every movie, that has a Mickey D's as a location, this will be it). Really a weird site, tucked in the far end of an industrial park it has a few Mickey D's signs on wheels w/adjustable height(for those crane shots), and out front are those big 45 foot cargo containers holding EVERY possible McDonald's uniform in every size from around the world(for their international ads) and a basement with McDonald's furniture in every style and color combination the chain allows(so it looks like different McD's from spot-to-spot).

[RA: Not a public attraction. Roadside America co-author Mike Wilkins spent some time inside when he made a cameo appearance as the McD's manager in his Academy Award nominated film short, "Birch Street Gym," starring Harold Gould.]
