Has anyone noticed that more and more KFC's are closing . . . WHY?

[borg69unimatrix]

I think a lot of it was the health scare that fast food places went through in the "Lets Get Physical" 80's.

Burger King started promoting flame broiled over fried. Mc Donalds started serving salads, and apple slices and juice.

What did KFC do? The changed their name from Kentucky FRIED Chicken to KFC - to hide their food is fried?

From what I remember of their menu the few times I ate there, it was fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, and Mac-n-cheese... while great comfort food, not exactly on the list of healthy choices.

a $5. meal at KFC or Taco Bell? I will take KFC anytime. I'm a regular customer there. If the one near me closes, I'll starve.

Gahh.......just eat at Chick-fil-A.

Consumer Reports rates Chick-fil-A & In-N-Out Burger as the fast food chains with the best food & customer service.

What are you? The CEO of Chick-fil-A?

We get it ...... you like it, you like it.

Don't you have a gas station with a nice lady who knows how to make fried chicken? The best fried chicken is always some joint on the block with the liquor store or the check cashing place, and there is a wings option or 10 on the menu, too.

This goes doubly so for barbeque.

Unless you are out of the city limits. Then you look for the gas station or lunch spot on the turn-off to a well-loved fishing & camping site.

I'm not a fan of fast food. But for fried chicken isn't Popeye's better?

Popeye's is waaaaay better than KFC, never understood why anyone would go to KFC with Popeye's around.

Thankfully, the two KFCs in our area that I occasionally visit are very good. We have Lee's, Popeye's, and Church's, and I've never found any of them to be as good.

Okay Guys, here is some OFF TOPIC KFC info I want to share with you.

Sometimes, it is better to bring your “own” butter to KFC. . . . at least in Brighton, UK anyway. Enjoy the video. It is HILARIOUS!

Haha, I shall have to avoid this place!

I've never seen anyone behave like that in the year or so I've been down here, so it must be a one-off.

And P.S....

When I checked where this KFC on London Road was on Google Maps, and hovered the cursor over the location, this interesting description popped up:

Absolute slops....dog turned his nose up at it....one star...you wish...should be prosecuted.

ChickenGuy, LOL!!!

because their chicken LOOKS good but sucks - and they rip you off - you pay a fortune and get a bucket full of drumsticks and wings with a thigh or 2 thrown in for good measure - RIP OFFS !

This is not good. Countdown to riots in Watts, Harlem, Detroit, Atlanta, and Chicago in 5432........

 

[MoufOfKhaos]

^Atlanta has so many good chicken eateries that I doubt we'd notice that we lost KFC - especially since KFC costs MORE nowadays.
