- Founded in 1940, McDonald’s Company Ltd. now has nearly 32,500 restaurants in over 100 countries. McDonald’s opened their first store in Japan in May 1971, in the middle of Tokyo. This one is for a male crew member’s uniform. This uniform is from the 1970’s, and represent the type first worn by workers at McDonald’s Japan. This male crew member’s uniform is white with the symbolic yellow arch patch on the arms. The uniforms are slightly different from the uniforms used in America during the same period. Over the past 40 years the uniforms have evolved significantly. By 1998, there had been 11 changes in uniform style, with a significant change taking place almost every four years. The first uniform features very different uniforms for men and women, but later uniforms matched more closely.
