Reasons behind fast-food drive-thrus’ rise

The article discusses the evolution of the drive-thru restaurant in the United States, highlighting its origins in the late 1940s with establishments like Red's Giant Hamburg and In-N-Out Burger. The rise of automobile popularity, interstate highways, and suburban growth in mid-20th century America facilitated the development of drive-thrus as a convenient, on-the-go dining option. While McDonald's pioneered the drive-thru in the 1970s, other chains like Starbucks adopted the format later, with drive-thru sales now constituting a significant portion of their business.
