Apparently Lukas Podolski developed his Kebap shop into a franchise system and today there was the grand opening of one.
The building itself is a bit of local history. Originally built as a cinema1) in the late 1950ies/early 1960ies, the first McDonald’s in Wuppertal moved in around 1980 and was there until last year.
The cinema’s auditorium has been a rehearsal space for Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater for ages.

ETA:

1) Actually built in the 1920ies, more or less destroyed in WW II, rebuilt, and reopened in 1953. Closed in 1977.

With picture Gallery.
