Three million people are expected to visit the world's biggest McDonald's set up specifically for the London Olympics.

The fast-food giant is building a temporary 3000sqm pop-up store in Stratford, east London, to accommodate the hordes of tourists expected to flood the city from July.

It will be built in time for the opening ceremony on July 27 and will be taken down after the end of the Paralympics on September 9.

The pop-up store, one of three new McDonald's planned for the Olympics, will stretch over two floors and will be the length of half an American Football field.

The more than 12,000 people who applied to work at the huge branch have been put through X Factor style auditions across the country, according to the Daily Mail.

Those who make the final cut will dish out more than 50,000 Big Macs and 180,000 portions of fries over the two weeks.

McDonald's has a long-history of association with the Olympics.

It first became an official sponsor at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal and in 1984 footed the bill for the Olympic swimming stadium in Los Angeles.
 
As long as it complies with the appropriate building regulations it is the Owner's decision as to how long the building lasts.
