The local KFC closed several years ago. They had been doing okay but
head office came came out with a policy that they had to have in store
seating. That would have meant massive expansion of the tiny outlet,
which BTW was next door to McDonalds, and that McDs is probably the
loweset selling McDs in the organization. I rarely see people in there,
and don't imagine KFC would have don any better. Oh well, no loss.
