- See a vintage McDonald's restaurant being razed and re-built completely a new, in nearly 13 minutes! Original McDonald's Restaurant in Abilene, Texas, was built in 1969 and razed in 2012. Construction took 125 days to complete. Camera ran 24 hours a day and night, and over 387,000 still frames were made. Predominate frame rate was (1) frame every 10 seconds. Thanks to SUN LOANS on 3525 N.1st STREET in Abilene , Texas for making this video possible. Shot on an iPhone 4s with the App "Motion Pics."

Close to where I live (Lynchburg, VA), there are 2 mcdonald's that haven't been updated since the 90s & 2000s.
Which Locations?
lucky
same, mine is still a short flat looking brick mcdonalds. it also has some grass to it and still has the old roof design
While so many commenters seem concerned with the subject matter let me say this - - - This is the FIRST 'time lapse' I have found on RUclips that truly IMPRESSED me! I have done some visual graphics ... and 1000's of audio manipulations in my day and until this video, I've never known a person I felt was my equal (I'm 69 and retired now)!! I won't go into my background ... suffice to say my real name has appeared in the crawl on more than 3000 productions ... for 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Sony, and Universal and a few Indies. -- YOU -- did a __FANTASTIC__ mix .. i got it .... funny - cute - timed so nicely more than once ! ! ! SAD THO > > > probably (and sadly) only maybe 100 other people who watched this will ever "get it" and appreciate the hours you must have spent putting this video/audio together! If you are anywhere near the business, buddy ..... next job - -- break a leg - - - AGAIN !! :)
GoodOleBB , thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, it took a lonnnng time to complete this project. The sound effects were added more of a ‘humorous effect’ rather than a realistic account of the event. I wasn’t trying to make a high quality level of perfection.
But I have been around longer than McDonald’s has existed-and most negative comments come from, what I call “ Happy Meal Filmmakers” I first started doing time lapse with a Bolex 8mm. None of these young-uns have never seen an 8mm film camera, much less shot with one. Lol
I miss the old McDonald's and I haven't been in years. Bring back the old deep fried apple pies!

This had happened to this one McDonald’s that I liked to go to. Tore down the whole building and rebuilt a newer building. Now that same restaurant is being remodeled inside for another 6 weeks. The drive thru is still open. I liked the interior before the remodeling job. I grew up with the 70’s-2000’s style ones. When I was little it was a real treat to go to a McDonald’s. The restaurants that I have been in don’t 6:55 have a playroom inside. It felt grown up towards me.
There was an old McDonals built in the 80’s in the town I live in and boy that place was awesome. It had a fireplace, with a few couches and chairs by the fire. Outside where massive trees that must’ve been over 100 years old with picnic benches under them. It felt so wholesome. I had a great time at that place, that is until they leveled it all and built a new one equally as boring as every other one nowadays.
😢
So why did they tear down the old one? Oh that's right. It didn't look like everything else that is new. Our old McDonalds in Cottonwood, AZ is now a western wear store. You can tell it was a Mickey D's because of the roof design
They think we want ugly gray and white blocks when most people want the classic vintage design.
lol im laughing so hard from the sound effects
Sounds like pit row at a NASCAR race lol

Welcome to McStarbucks
um... what?
Ha, that is so true. McDonald's today looks like Starbucks or any other fancy coffee shop. The old ones are better.
AllAmericanWiseass no sense
Would love to work for that company!! Lol. Don’t have to rush.
Day 4: Old McDonald’s Demolished
Day 45: First Walls Put Up
Day 53: Second Walls Put Up
Day 62: First White Walls Put Up
Day 100: Yellow Things Put Up Over Windows
Day 107: McDonald’s Sign Put Up
Day 125: New McDonald’s Opens
It take time so nothing would break
Day 1: Spring
Day 3: Summer begins
Day 95: Autumn Begins
The old style of the late 60’s and 70’s stores are almost gone. If they can’t remodel they completely tear down and start over. I’m betting not many old stores are left...
Yeah can I say that it's becoming an endangered species of the old mcdonalds designs
The oldest one I've ever seen is one from the 2000s or so with the red roof. Unfortunately that one is probably going soon.
@@OCC_Plumbing_and_Restorations One near me still has the brown roof and original sign, it looks like it hasn’t changed since the 70s!
@@SmudgerEntertainment I saw one from the 50s last fall somewhere around Memphis, TN but it was painted their favorite shade of gray instead of the classic McDonald's colors.
There was a 50’s themed McDonalds in the town I live in. It had booth jukeboxes, the massive Golden Arches and all. That place was my favorite fast food spot in town, but of course they had it ruin it. They demolished it a few year ago and built a new one in its spot. I haven’t eaten there since and I don’t plan on doing so.
Old McDonald’s=better
Tommy pickles rocks I don’t know I love the red or Black roofs they used to but that one looks great you should see what they look like on the inside they look great but the brand new ones have a all gray look witch is so ugly
TotosSword it’s creepy
The new ones are fire and a slice of paradise
Yeah
F
I don't want to insult anyone. And I know they are spending a lot of money doing this. And they think they are making it better. But it's not. Takes all the character out of McDonald's. Turns it into a cold looking business place. They take Ronald McDonald away, all the other characters and they change the looks of the store. The old shapes of the '80s and '90s were warm and welcoming. I've even heard young teens saying that they love the old 80's styles. Of course people will still go to McDonalds. But again this takes out all the warmth and character. Seems like they're trying to end dine in and the fun of McDonald's. They keep making changes that no customers ask for.

Everybody: “complaining about the redesign”

Almost all old burger kings are gone but there's still some
McDonalds if your going to make your fast food restaraunts look like starbucks cafes then why don't you stop serving the burgers and fries that made you number 1 and only serve coffee. It is a shame that you would destroy your companies own history just because coffee is a bigger money maker. When I was a kid McDonalds made me happy with the happy meals, the playplaces and the red, blue, or gray spanish tiled roofs. I also hate the new double drive throughs where drivers have cut in front of me when it was my turn. Go back to single drive throughs or make your double drive throughs like checkers.
so true, I always get held up while two cars pass me even though all I want is one thing.
Dennis Apgar depending on what they order
Dennis Apgar agreed
I had so many memories at a McDonald's Playplace, so much to the point where my sister and I would always beg our mom or dad to take us to the nearest McDonald's. Sure, I like coffee, but I can basically get coffee anywhere. Sure, it maybe cheaper than the competing Starbucks, but I digress. Through what I've heard, the company is trying to pander to a "classier, adult" consumer base, despite the fact the following is true; MCDONALD'S APPEALED TO CHILDREN AND TEENS; Kids love the free toys and the Playplaces, and teenagers like the speed in which they can grab a meal for before or after school. I remembered a McDonald's my sister and I particularly liked (usually, no two Playplaces are exactly the same) got torn down around the time I was eight, and was replaced with a McCafé McDonald's, and it wasn't the same. Now, this was years ago, and note how I said I was eight, still a little kid, and it just wasn't the same. Now, obviously being older, I do see the appeal of coffee cheaper than Starbucks, but you don't need to tear down a McDonald's just because it doesn't look modern. I actually always loved the older ones, but where I live, all I see is silver with the golden arches slapped onto it (the new design) instead of the colourful McDonald's I grew up with. But it's not as bad, just as long as they STAY AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL MCDONALD'S RESTAURANT IM FINE! If they try to replace the original McDonald's, that will surely cause outrage and open a whole new can of worms!
Dennis I 100% agree McDonald's doesn't exist anymore to me its just like everything now lifeless and boring like a prison😢💔
You would need a lot of memory to record 125 days😀
Yes you would need a lot of memory for 125 days, if it were shot at 30 FPS--24/7.... but it was not. One frame every 10 seconds was the beginning average then 1 every 5. Still a lot to ingest. I did offload the camera every 7 days so I wouldn't run out of storage.
@@towerscope put it in 2x speed on vid
From June to October
They did this to the Mcdonald's in my my town back in the early 2000's
must be union workers.
where i live they did this same thing but in 20 days
Lol in China it would take one day
@@acommentator69 Unfortunately they don't have the United States' highway system. it would take them 40 days here.
McDonald's in day 1: 😊🍭
McDonald's in day 125: 😪🖥️
old one looked better
Yes. And that's why I avoid those modernist style stores.
Mansard Roof = Pretty
Swoosh Eyebrow = Ugly
I disagree
I like the new buildings
Soren Kuula old McDonald building feel like your walk up on creepy person
By far
My area (Bakersfield) has one more old style mdonalds and its inside a chevron its on allen and rosedale
7:49 Watch the days change... 94... 95... 88 wamp wamp wamp
Lol
Close to my home, there is STILL a McDonald's with the old design.
I bet it's remodeled now
@@leoarevalo6786 yes it is. That comment I commented on is old.
The only thing changing in these stores is...wait for it...
Cosmetics.
With the exception of an additional drive thru lane and order kiosks, there is no difference in store operations. 6 billion dollars was put into changing the way the store looks, vs. changing the way the food tastes or making your experience more convenient. The only thing those kiosks improve is orders per hour. It doesn't make you get your food any faster, as the production process remains the same.
Old mcdonald's = better food
I like the older model better
Yes. They want to take away all the good old warmth and ambience. The new style is just plain and unattractive.
They want to water everything down. Surprised they dont just call it McD’s.
I’m more focused on that black Nissan than the construction
Yea me to lol 😂.
😂
12:16 somebody’s having car trouble.
I call this particular location the Mario Kart McDonald's because the parking lot reminds me of a racetrack. There's a guy who works here who calls me the Ketchup Lady.
This is the best McDonalds in Abilene, food is always hot and reasonably fast but I agree with you the parking lot is messed up being on that little hill.
Day 3: Summer Starts
A McDonald's Rebirth -TIME LAPSE of 125 day construction - Abilene, Texas
It actually took 125 days to build a mc Donald’s restaurant.in my city it took 30 days to build fancy houses
The one their building by me rn is out of brick and steel oh wait its florida. 😂
They’re all generally wood stick framed except for the bolt up steel frame for the playplace. In modern construction, brick is a veneer or siding material, not a structural material.
0:45 Summer Starts
Wow what a nice content
Cool video! Now if only McDonald's improved their food quality...I know they are updating many restaurants across the country.
What happens to employees when McDonalds closes to remodel? a Meijer Store a few years back closed its doors because they were moving the Store to a new building right next to the old store the old store was torn Down and the space is now more parking to have more customers I just find it said that an old original store/restraunt is closed its like losing history that Future kids will never see
They did the same thing where i live in 2 weeks :V
Autumn Starts 9:03
The box is still nice

It was Temporarily Closed for until day 108
My Mcdonalds is one of the last on Long Island with a traditional house design and they are redoing the entire place in just 3 weeks, I’m not sure if they are doing a whole new building though ?
YAY MCDONALD'S UR BACK
0:47 breakdown
At the Contruction you see ,why those Building are Dangerous when caught Fire. In the Middle are Glue Binder used. They are Cheap and holding ;BUT in a Case of Fire they weaken fast under Heat the lose their holding power. The Roof came down without a Warning. That was not once a Dangerours Trap for Firefightrer,not only in the US.
What?
@@lenadams854 Something unclear ?
All Stores Please Lower the cost of all Military and Local for all Brands of McDonald's Fast food Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
Ayyeeee I live in Abilene Texas
I love mcdonalds I go there all the time😄😄😄😄
Building looks fantastic, but the only thing they could have done better was to make a better Mcdonalds sign out by the street, really like the ones with Mcdonalds imprinted in the Red area below the M and then undernieth it it has the slogan Billions and Billions Served right undernieth the word McDonalds, then some of them also have that Yellow thing attached below the red part where they could advertise their specials or whatever else they wanted to put there, That Mcdonalds sign out by the street just looked a little on the Plain side With just the BIG yellow M and pretty much nothing else But AWESOME job on the new building, wish you could have posted a second video of what the inside looked like of the old building then what the inside looked like of the new one
I actually had a little video of the inside before it was torn down shot years earlier. But it was on an old phone device and not the best quality. But I do wish I had thought to shoot some HD of the inside.
I actually did some searching on Mcdonalds that have been rebuilt, and I have noticed that take yours and mine for instance, I have noticed that both of our new stores are pretty much the same I mean they are built the same......
You went a little overboard with the sound effects
Wonder why they didn't use fencing!
One time I had this dream where the McDonald’s redesign yeah my local McDonald’s is having a redesign I won the dream was about it being more focused on the happy meal and they brought back the idog
I'm Not Lovin it McDonalds® Stop Making McDonalds Worse for everyone its now unwelcoming and Cold😬 POV: 2012 I'm Lovin it McDonalds® The old look is more Lovin it Its more welcoming and warm😊 BECOME A MCDONALDS WORKER😅😅 Stay Lovin it
i should be in this time lapse
You might be, and it could be just one or two frames-or more. Would be difficult to find.
McDonald's modern building style is UGLY!!! The mansard roof design from the good old days was 100% better and nicer. I always avoid locations with that modern design. The new style is ugly, cold, and unwelcoming as always. The modern style should be dubbed "Not Lovin' It".
Too late they're rebranding them too
I don't like the design neither, but there are times when I just can't avoid them.
I agree. The old design. Lovin’ it. But new style. UGHHHH. Seriously they should bring the mansard roof better,
We still have one in my town with a indoor playground and we have a ugly dull lifeless new one down the street also which one you think gets more business?😉
You will avoid 99.9 Mcdonalds
I like this
1969 McDonald’s was fanted so they had to build the 2016 original McDonald’s
Just curious, For the people who worked at the old building, when they closed it down for the last time, do all of the workers for the time being have to find another job somewhere else until this new building is completed and then they get yto come back abd start working again or do they just get relocated to another Mcdonalds somewhere else until this one gets done, and alos if I may ask, for the 1 month and whatever days it was that there were lets say out of work, do they still get paid or how does that normally work?????
Andrew, as I understand it, all the employees are sent to another one of (4) locations to work until completed. I don't know if that applies only to full time workers or part time as well.
I just had mine done not too long ago, dont excatley rememebr how long it took from the time of demolition to the time the new one was built and up and running, but the one cool thing they added that the old one Didnt have was a Double Drive thru, meaning two cars could order at the same time,
No they don't get paid the whole system is based on slave labor that works for nothing. You won't get any replied because they can't afford a working internet. They likely offered them hours at other locations probably very few.
Only 125 Day? Cool?
No more dirty play grounds.
Sounds like NASCAR sounds is it? Some of them do when the cars pass
+Sam Wilson Vlogs Yes, They were sound files available through Final Cut Pro's Soundtrack Pro. Probably were NASCAR .... or Indy 500? lol

cool one
i like new mcdonald's builded
Disgusting. They destroy these nice old places and turn them into basic, cold and unwelcoming ones. I miss the old looks and I'm sure a bunch of people agree.
Great video, but some of your days might be a little messed up or wonky. it goes from Day 75 to Day 62 in 6:24
I had to increase the speed of playback at one point--thus I had to cut out a lot of downtime due to weather issues and construction standstill periods. That sort of changed the base time code. So I had to estimate some of the time compression that took place because of that. It was still 125 days total. Was not easy keeping track of it all.
towerscope Gotcha. that makes sense
Fresca
We still have some older style McDonalds still here in the City Where I live hard to believe old is gone new is in I remember when I was little in a Foster Home My FosterParents were at the Hospital with a sick Child ( the Child was in close to a month) There Daughter Vicki and her Husband Lonnie and Daughter Elissa were staying with us during that time I was watching cartoons and Vicki said Kelly u have no School tomorrow do u? I said No Vicki said Guess what? and I Say What? Vicki Says U and Elissa are going to work with me tomorrow I looked Confused Saying Im to little to get a job Vicki Says No I meant Thrursday is my Paper Route Day and since nobody will be home to be with u Im taking U and Elissa with me. So the next day we got into the Van she was borrowing to deliver the NewsPapers and since the Van had no seats to carry passengers Me and Elissa were using the floor to sit down LunchTime came Vicki went into the drivethru ordering a meal adult sized then ordered 2 Happy Meals and me and Elissa ate and took a nap after we were done it was so fun to eat that Happy Meal
Hmmm.... poor timing, in accurate, yep.

Most new McDonald’s look stupid, some look ok.
Yes, it looks like the whoever designed the new signs was stoned when they did it. Lol
?
They tore down a perfectly good McDonald’s especially a vintage one. Wow. New style McDonald’s are bland. They look like shoebox Starbucks stores. Stick to burgers which is what you were famous for. Every McDonald’s location looks like a fucking grey shoebox, modern, boring. Why do people like grey and white? They’re most boring colors on planet earth. Old McDonald’s had style. But oooh no, people have to have their modern shoebox looking McDonald’s, sad just sad.
I agree with everything you said and a lot of people think like we do. Unfortunately the idiots in charge of McDonald's think we want ugly gray blocks. Wendy's is doing the same thing and I'm disgusted by both of them. Not just because of the toilets but because the old buildings looked a thousand times better.
TechMasterJason I remember when I was a little kid, my older cousin would take me to the McDonald’s by the house that I currently live in (which I believe was built in the late ‘90s), and I played in the play place, and the play place sign had colorful big letters, but of course in 2017 or so it was completely renovated into the ugly box shape design and it still has a play place, but the new play place logo sign is just a boring lowercase letter one (like the one in the other McDonald’s rebuild video). And now that place is just a hot mess. Dark, boring, pathetic, ugly, depressing, etc.
but is destroy
