This was when the famous golden arches were designed by an architect by the name of Stanley Meston. Little did they know that those golden arches would soon become their well-known trademark.
The very first advertisement done for this restaurant was the amount of hamburgers sold with the first sign reading 100 million by 1958.

The first restaurant with indoor seating was introduced in 1962 in Denver,...
