Arizona helped revolutionize the fast food industry in 1975. That’s when the McDonald’s in Sierra Vista opened the company’s first drive-through window.
At the time, soldiers from Fort Huachuca were not allowed to get out of their vehicles off-post while wearing fatigues. The owner of the McDonald’s franchise near the base, pushed out a bit of one wall and installed a sliding glass window. Lines of hungry soldiers stretched around the building and Big Macs flew out the window as fast as the crew could make them.
