The McDonald’s in Hoover on Highway 31 near I-65 was recently demolished to make way for a newer building. Its owners have reopened, and they celebrated a ribbon cutting on September 11 hosted by the Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce.
This location is one of more than 40 Birmingham-area McDonald’s owned by Max Cooper, who opened his first McDonald’s in the Birmingham in 1966. Cooper was also the first ad manager for McDonald’s in 1964, and is responsible for the famous “two-all-beef-patties-special-sauce-lettuce-cheese-pickles-onions-on-a-sesame-seed-bun” jingle that McDonald’s used for many years in the 1970s and 80s.
