INFO: According to property records, This KFC was built in 1967 on US 1 just outside of downtown New London. It opened in 1970 and stayed in business for over 40 years. Here's what it looked like when it was open. KFC closed the location in 2011 for a reason I do not know. By 2015, a local restaurant called Crown Chicken & Grill opened up shop. In addition, they removed the tip of the roof and added a new coat of paint. Just a few years later, Crown Chicken closed, and the building is vacant once again.
PICTURES:
Crown Chicken repurposed the sign instead of adding a new one. When KFC was open, they had used the 2006 logo on the sign.
As you can tell this is an obvious recycle. The fact that it's abandoned makes it even more fascinating. The plants have been overgrowing for the past year, most likely due to a lack of maintenance after Crown Chicken's closure. This made it hard to get a window shot from the front, so I just got those shots from the side.
Heading towards the back, there isn't much to note, but what do you expect? It's the back of the building, which is usually the most boring part. (at least for me)
Heading towards the other side of the building, we can see that there's no drive-thru, but parking instead. To me it's weird that this location never had a drive-thru, but this could be because it's an older building. It could also be because KFC was leaning towards a sit-down environment back then.
Here's the interior. Although I'm unsure of Crown Chicken renovated it or not, I'm guessing they did, since I haven't seen a KFC with this style of interior.
That's it for this one! I'll see you all next time!
