“This was a joint initiative between McDonald’s of Canada and the Moscow city council, first proposed at the meeting with Soviet officials at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.

In 1988, they finally got permission, and construction works started. A year later, over 50 million USD was invested in this project, with a special factory for producing brand ingredients.

At the time, it set the record as the largest McDonald’s restaurant in the world. It could seat 900 customers (700 inside + 200 inside), with a staff of about 600 cashiers selected from over 35,000 applicants.

When it finally opened on 31 January 1990, the initial projections claimed only a thousand people would come for the opening of the restaurant.

They were off by a factor of 30.

Throughout its launch day, Moscow McDonald’s set another record by serving more than 30 thousand visitors.

The previous record? It belonged to Budapest’s own McDonald’s, at a meager 9,100 clients.

Not even the price could put a dent in such a high interest.

A Big Mac was selling for 3.75 Soviet rubles, which meant that your average worker had to part with half a day’s wage to take a bite out of the capitalist wonder”.

“The building has serious safety issues that put you at risk. As a result, a decision has been made to evacuate and close the building on an emergency basis. Concerns include poor building management, inadequate maintenance, security concerns, a severe pest infestation, and more,” the notice seen by Postmedia states. “We understand this closure is difficult, especially during the holiday season, but this is an emergency that cannot be delayed.

“You won’t be able to return until all safety issues have been fixed. Timelines on this are unknown.”

The timing of this is terrible but it took the murder of an innocent security guard to finally take some action.
