Switzerland | The first McDonald's
The first McDonald's restaurant in Switzerland opened on October 20, 1976, on Rue du Mont-Blanc in Geneva. In March 1981, a photographer set out to capture everyday life in the fast-food establishment. However, the new restaurant chain faced strong rejection from parts of the population and was seen as a threat to local gastronomy and a symbol of Americanization. In the early years, this led to repeated acts of vandalism, calls for boycotts, and even arson attacks on the locations. (luk)
