So far, I have noticed three KFC locations that have seemingly closed over night, with no indication of what is going on.
Parsons & Livingston, South High near Jenkins Ave, and I heard one out on West Broad Street.
Did the local franchisee go bust?

I know the one @ Livingston and Parson was finally aquired by Children's Hospital. It was kind of on an island anyway, I heard the owner was just holding out until Children's got the $$ right.

I believe the stores that closed were corporate owned, and they want to reduce the number of they own either by selling or closing them.

They will be missed. Good cheap lunch option. I hope a chik-fil-a opens in the GV location.
