A drive-in landmark and clear vending rules. Two things to know.
- 1953 McDonald's on Lakewood Boulevard
The McDonald's at 10207 Lakewood Boulevard opened August 18, 1953. The Downey Historical Society made it a local historical site in 1983, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
Downey has been a takeout town for over 70 years, and customers here know what good to-go packaging looks like.
Source · Historical Marker Database, McDonald's (Downey marker) - Sidewalk vending needs two city permits
Downey requires both a Downey Business License and a Downey Sidewalk Vending Permit before anyone vends on the sidewalk, plus a Los Angeles County health permit for food. The vending permit is good for one year.
If you sell food from a cart or table outside the restaurant, get the city permit and county health permit first and renew yearly.
Source · City of Downey, Sidewalk Vendor Permit - Vending rules passed in 2019
Downey's City Council voted 4 to 0 in August 2019 to create a sidewalk vending permit program in response to the state's Safe Sidewalk Vending Act (SB 946). Vending from motor vehicles is not allowed on alleys, sidewalks or public property.
Food trucks and carts near your restaurant must follow these rules, which helps keep the sidewalk in front of your door clear.

A to-go town from the start
The walk-up burger stand at 10207 Lakewood Boulevard opened in August 1953. Downey made it a local historical site in 1983, and it joined the National Register in 2010.
The lesson for any Downey owner is simple: food that leaves the counter in a branded bag gets remembered. More than seventy years later, people still know whose bag that was. You don't need a giant chain to get that effect. You need your name on every bag that leaves.
Taquerias, burger spots and family kitchens
Downey eats a lot of takeout. Taquerias, burger and wing spots, Salvadoran and Mexican family kitchens, bakeries with weekend pan dulce lines. Most of those orders go home in a bag to feed a family.
A family order is heavy. Our bag carries up to 22 lb, stands on a flat square bottom, and has a 3.5″ gusset on each side, so trays of tacos and a stack of drinks fit side by side. Our taco shop guide shows the packing order that keeps tortillas dry.
Selling from a cart or a truck in Downey
Downey set up its sidewalk vending program in 2019. Today a vendor needs a Downey business license, a Downey sidewalk vending permit and a county health permit for food. The vending permit lasts one year.
If you're putting in the work to get licensed, put your name on what you hand out. A printed bag turns a cart into a brand people can find again. Vending from a motor vehicle on alleys, sidewalks and public property isn't allowed, so check where your truck can park.
Logo tips for a Downey bag
Big, bold and one idea. A classic diner script works if the letters are thick. A taco, a burger or a sun works as an icon. Red and black on brown kraft has that old school look Downey people love.
The print area is 12 × 14 in on the front, and your logo is printed free. For the full rundown across the county, see our guide to printed takeout bags for Los Angeles restaurants.
