Just two years earlier in 1957, James McLamore had created the signature Whopper Sandwich that Burger King is known by today. By the late 60s the chain had successfully grown and expaned into Michigan, this Burger King location at Kelly and Morang rds. was built in the mid 1980s between 1983 and 1987 according to historic aerial imagery. Into the mid 2010s the restaurant had kept its original design, however was remodeled around this same time and by 2017 had received its modern look it is known by today.
