Empty fast food restaurant - what should take it over?

We had an Arby’s go out of business here. It’s a liquor store now!

My town has SEVEN sub shops but no Burger King. I’d want a Burger King, or DQ.

Of course, we have had both of those places come and go in the past 30 years so maybe they know something I don’t know.

I’ve already got nearly every form of fast food known to Man within a couple-blocks radius of here, and of the few that we’re still missing, I’m indifferent to most of them (like, I like Quizno’s, but I like Penn Station better, and we already have one of those). I think the only thing missing around here that I actually like is Skyline Chili (the closest is about a half-hour away), so I guess I’d take that.

We have In-n-Out here. What I need is White Castle. And/or Skyline Chili.

Actually, what I need is to not go to any fast food places. But that’s no fun.

We’ve got Bk, and Wendy’s for burger chains but our island lacks a Taco Bell. I heard there used to be one but it folded and that location is now home to a Jamaican jerk restaurant and bakery. If I had my way we would close that down and bring back the Taco Bell.

And for one more to bring in, I have to go for Arby’s, I know it wouldn’t last but oh do I miss Arby’s when the closest one is nearly a 500 mile plane ride away.

I wouldn’t mind a Taco Bell closer to us. One of my kids is a fan of Checkers so that’s another possibility.

A former burger chain ( I think it was a Hardee’s) is now a used car lot. I don’t remember it as a burger franchise.

A former 1960’s Pizza Hut. Still had the red roof until a few years ago. I ate there a few times before it closed. It’s been a used car lot for awhile.

Popeye’s. We have KFC and Churches and something call PDQ (not sure if that’s national)but no one seems to offer spicy.

If it’s going to be a pizza place, I’d want a Shakey’s or a Round Table.

Church’s should have spicy.

This place. But I would weigh 400 lbs, so I just go when I visit my mom a few hours away. But it has ALL our junk food cravings in one spot. All of them. They’re cheap, too, and the gyros are enormous. We like to get a huge bag of everything on our way to Lake Michigan for a day at the beach. Mmm, sandy fries.

Welp, I think we need to head up that way next weekend.

I would love to get an outpost of Whataburger near me in Toronto.

White Castle or Five Guys.

I’d like to see a Cook out. Mostly for the shakes.

Or a Checkers.

We recently lost Carls Jr (blech) and a Jack in the Box. (weeping)
We got a check cashing place and an urgent care.
We lose.

Which Wich. Think Quizno’s, but design-your-own.

Ah, so I see they do. They have some nice looking rice and green beans too. However those crinkle fries are unacceptable and I can’t believe they don’t make a basic buttermilk biscuit. Hmmmmmmmph :mad:

Thanks for pointing it out though. I might try it if I’m jonesing hard enough/

A few years ago, the most local KFC closed and a drive through cigarette/lottery ticket/check cashing store moved in.

I could use a closer Pita Pit

I’d love a Primo Hoagies (Philly area sandwich chain). However, since it is highly unlikely they would expand to the desert Southwest I’d settle for a closer El Pollo Loco - the nearest one is 20+ minutes away.

Holy hell I literally forgot that Cook Out existed until you just mentioned. This is absolutely the correct answer for me. A place where I can get a double cheese burger and have my side be a quesadilla? Yes, please! Also those shakes?

My other vote would be for a Bojangles (best fast food mac and cheese ever) and a Fazoli’s. There really isn’t anywhere you can get fast italian like good ole fuzzles.

We’ve had Raising Cane’s for a while, and slightly more recently got a couple locations of Slim Chicken’s, which I like more. Slim’s does chicken strips and wings, and also chicken and waffles, and I think that’s pretty much it. I think their chicken seasoning tastes better than Cane’s, and their sides are to die for.
