"There's still barbecue stains that kinda look like blood." 😳
It's not every day that you find an abandoned vintage Burger King hiding in not-so-plain sight. But that's exactly what happened to a group of people who made a peculiar discovery at the Concord Mall in Wilmington, Delaware.
On June 28, Twitter user @RealJezebelley shared a photo of the retro space, which looks like it could have easily doubled as a restaurant set for your favorite '80s or '90s sitcom. The photo was taken in April of this year by Jonathon Pruitt and shows lots of pastel tabletops, retro decor, and even some fake greenery.

Shortly after the image was shared, Twitter user @loserskwaddd revealed that the throwback Burger King was used as a storage room for a seasonal job she had in 2019. In her Twitter post, she included eerie video footage of the restaurant, which she described as "terrifying."

"This place is f**king terrifying because no one's used it in years," she said in the video. "There's still barbecue stains that kinda look like blood and then the ceiling is rotting away. And that's like the start of the f**king Grudge or some sh*t."
News of the hidden Burger King comes shortly after the fast food chain made headlines for a more wholesome reason. Earlier this week, a Burger King employee who never missed a day of work in 27 years was blessed with a surprise reunion with his family during an appearance on Today. Prior to being on the morning show, video of the 54-year-old father receiving a handful of gifts for his work anniversary went viral and ultimately led to a GoFundMe campaign that has since received over $270,000.
That is cool and brings back high school memories. I would swear I recognize that BI decor from the late 70s early 80s. That is very cool.
They need to make it a BK museum or something.
Turn some lights on and you won’t be so scared 🤪
Jao’s fault.
A great era of Burger King.
I used to go to that mall and that Burger King.
I was more a fan of Gino’s.
It doesn’t look creepy. Looks normal to me.
I remember the ads from the 70s with the Magic Burger King and the Duke of Doubt and Sir Shake ALot.
The Twitter user’s commentary is more disgusting than the condition of the restaurant.
so who lost the money, BK or the mall?
The gal in the story needs to see her physician yesterday. It is clear reading her comments she has at least chronic, maybe even terminal estrogen poisoning! She is exhibiting a Tourette’s style speech pattern, she’s delirious and shows extreme paranoia. Call 911.
Snowflakes are easily frightened, especially when they can instantly tweet about their emotional upheaval.
I agree. Can't they just describe the place with out cussing? Over use of swearing cheapens swear words. (Time and place)
This is what creeps out zoomers. We’re in trouble.
The restaurant seems in pretty good shape to me.
I never cared for the Burger King.
She should contemplate the toad she saw in the mirror in her video. Definitely not a ‘70s or ‘80s figure. Terrifying.
I was noticing the other day that not everyone agrees with this but for a FAST FOOD place with not very expensive food, it is hard to beat whooper, shake, and onion rings.
Is anyone with me on that?
