MacDavid is an Israeli fast food brand, that started in 1978 in Tel Aviv. After growing to the peak of 28 branches, most branches have closed, leaving one location, in Haifa.
History
The original branch was opened in 1978 on Tel Aviv's Frishman Street. In 1979 McDonald's sued MacDavid over name infringement.[1] MacDavid claimed its name was dissimilar, but stopped serving "Big Macs".[1]
MacDavid expanded to a peak of 28 in 1989.[2] In 1993 McDonald's entered the market, and competitor Burgeranch expanded its presence, causing the number of MacDavid restaurants to decline.
