  • Abandoned Burger King - Toledo, OH. Enjoy a look at this aesthetically pleasing BK location with a huge sun room! Currently, the only sign of life here is the lot being used for overflow of Enterprise cars. Some items have been placed inside. Could a new business be on the horizon?

    6:43 I’ve never seen that at a Fast food restaurant before. The vintage aesthetics at this BK is amazing! 😻

      My city's original McDonalds had something like that. Two of them in fact cuz it was a dual-lane dirve thru. I seem to recall that they would serve happy meals from inside of it. Never seen it at a BK though!

    I was an AGM for Burger King in the Toledo Area in 2016. Unfortunately this one closed because of poor sales. The company actually reopened a store that they closed over by Flower Hospital for the better location.
    Hopefully someone moves in to this location. Great video :)

    I was looking up on Google street view when the Kmart was demolished and it didn’t show me when it was demolished. This Kmart probably closed with the round of closures in 2002 or before then. Google street view only shows when the Kmart was sitting abandoned which was in 2007 through 2011. In 2015, the building was gone.
    The Walmart was getting ready to open in 2007. I saw the Food Center coming soon sign on the building when I was scrolling through Google Street View. The Kmart was gone before Walmart opened.
    Never seen a Burger King like this one in the video before. Looks nice.

    My old stomping grounds! My brother worked at that Burger King briefly in the early 90s. My mom and I used to go to that K-mart when I was a kid. They had the deli with Italian subs and the big cafeteria towards the back. I believe that store closed long before wal- mart moved in. Where the Wal mart is now used to be a Hills and Kroger. Thanks for bringing back some fond childhood memories!!

  • @lauraray7555
    @lauraray7555 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Yes the booth was for payments and we could add to the order for add ons but the order was taken in the restaurant. I worked at the Burger King near Toledo Hospital in 1988-89. I worked the cashiers booth often at lunch time. They were owned by the Bennet corporation. He had a couple Burger Kings in Kalamazoo, Michigan with the booths too.

  • @thecantankerousvschannel5910

  • @Brian-lc4wz
    @Brian-lc4wz Před 4 měsíci +1

    The two nearby me was that same design. One was that size the other was a little smaller. The owners of them both decided to tear them both down in about 2019. One is the shoebox design the other is supposedly a prototype two drive up window lanes and a very small dining room. It sucked when they did that.

  • @Optopolis
    @Optopolis Před 4 měsíci +1

    At some point, I've seen a BK that looked somewhat similar to this, but I don't know where or when... HOWEVER I don't think I've seen an interior quite like that. That's something! Maybe someone nearby has a rental service or something seeing all the enterprise vehicles. I notice the auto garages such as midas sometimes will use parking in a neighboring property as well for vehicle storage.

  • @bee-yq3wb
    @bee-yq3wb Před 4 měsíci

    Yup, where you were at was the corner Central Avenue and Holland-Sylvania Rd. I remember this Burger King and the K-Mart on the opposite side of the street when both places were open. I even remember when that K-Mart was demolished and I'm so amazed the store sign is still there.

    I can answer the question of why that bk is so different so back in the day when Burger King first started franchising they used to not have any rules about the restaurants looking the same that was until they started with the blue roof buildings the reason they even did the blue roofs was because people were getting confused

  • @chad2787
