The Maid-Rite Sandwich Shop in Springfield, Illinois, is one of the few remaining early Maid-Rite franchises in the United States. This specific shop, built in 1921, claims to have the first drive-thru window in the U.S.[2] The building, along historic U.S. Route 66, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
