The lights have abruptly shut off at three fast-food locations on Chicago's South Side – leaving residents concerned over lost jobs and the future of those sites.
All three shuttered KFC restaurants are owned by the same franchisee. One of them is located in Chatham, where it is not the first business to close in recent weeks.
"A closed business is not only a sore eye, but it’s a gateway for violence because when you see abandonment, it looks as if there is no love, no hope in the community," said Ald. William Hall (6th Ward).
Ald. Hall says he, too, was disappointed to learn the news of KFC’s departure at three locations. "It’s something we’re seeing across the city, but nevertheless, neighborhoods, it hits differently," said Hall.
Colonel Sanders is saying ‘goodbye’ to locations at 83rd Street and King Drive in Chatham, 75th Street and Lafayette in Greater Grand Crossing, and 35th Street and Calumet Avenue in Bronzeville.

Damn, KFC in South Side Chicago served Collard Greens too.
“The family fill up (8 piece chicken, 2 sides and biscuits) was $20 a few years ago at my local KFC
Now $30 with smaller pieces”
We are watching in real time the demise of the “fast food restaurant”.
They are pricing themselves right out of business.
People will only pay so much for low quality food and low quality service.
Here come the riots.
you know whatever it was
it goes against the “narrative”
most likely crime
took the words right out of my mouth! race card will be waved for sure!
The answer is raciss.
Vote for idiots, lose your chicken stands.
Turns out fathers are useful after all.
Yea, because in the South Side of Chicago, another empty business is going to ruin the neighborhood (eye roll)...
This song became a #1 hit in 1973... 50 years later, nothing’s changed, but dammit that KFC closing that’s going to be what bring the south side of chicago down...

After 5 decades the folks there are still too dumb to vote for people and policies that might actually improve things...
Could it be racist to deprive the Chicago community of fried chicken? Doesn’t matter. It’s probably racist just to ask the question in the first place.
“Only at Chili’s can you enjoy an ice-cold beverage, appetizer, and full-size entree for $10.99.”
Sit in a heated/air conditioned clean restaurant. Be served at your table/booth by a real person. Enjoy the atmosphere/ambiance and enjoy (available at extra cost) a cold beer or other adult beverage.
KFC food quality is terrible across the chain... Popeye’s is even worse.
I never eat anything from either one of them.
Popeyes still be dere....right?
A FRIED CHICKEN DESERT!
Oh, the huge manatee !
3 utter crap hole neighborhoods.
L
Welcome to the Soviet Union.
Whatever you do don’t say the blacks are upset because fried chicken places are going out of business... that’s racisss.
I’m basically a Southern Man, we eat fried chicken down here... and watermelon thank you very much.
Who needs “fast food”.

“Olive Garden offers unlimited breadsticks, salad, and soup on both lunch and dinner menus, but at different price points.01 At lunch, the meal costs about $7.99, while for dinner, it’s about $9.99 (depending on location). During the early dinner hours, the combo runs about $8.99. The breadsticks are pre-made, re-heated in an oven for three minutes, and coated in melted butter and garlic salt, but they still have legions of fans.1 The never-ending first course of soup or salad and breadsticks is available in-restaurant only with the purchase of an adult entrée.2 The menu option is offered at different price points depending on what time of the day customers order them: $7.99 for it at lunch and $9.99 during dinner time”
AND you can take home an extra entree (entree only) for 6 BUCKS!
Did you catch that? NEVER ENDING soup or salad. I get the soup, wife gets the salad. I can get another bowl of soup, even try a different kind of soup AND share the wife’s salad. Additionally, never ending breadsticks.
Why spend $30 at KFC?
Chicken, the LEAST expensive meat? NOT at KFC!
No chicken - No peace!!
