About National Drive-Thru Day
The first drive-thru service is believed to have been at Red’s Giant Hamburg on Route 66 in Springfield, Missouri, in 1947.
After the second world war, California sunshine and a love affair with automobiles spurred the growth of roadside businesses in the Golden State catering specifically to motorists.
As America's first major drive-through hamburger chain, Jack in the Box® restaurants (founded in 1951) helped pave the way for a delicious new dining experience.
