| McDonald's said on yesterday it planned to open a new outlet at Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie, completing the landmark's 20-year transformation from Cold War front line to money-making tourist hotspot.
The 120-seater restaurant will be opposite the Mauermuseum dedicated to the Berlin Wall that used to divide the city, and hopes to be selling its burgers, fries and other products from mid-2010, a spokeswoman said.
The 600-square-metre restaurant, on the site of where Soviet and US tanks famously faced off in 1961, is a "top location," the Bild daily cited the US fast food giant as saying.
