Richard and Maurice McDonald opened their second McDonald's franchise, store #3, at Lakewood Boulevard and Florence Avenue on August 18, 1953. The restaurant was sold to McDonald's Corporation in 1990, and following years of low sales, damage from the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and the lack of indoor seating and a drive-through window, the restaurant was closed in 1994. Following demands from the public and preservationists, McDonald's remodeled the building for two years, reopening it in 1996 as McDonald's #19956.
