When the Colonel Takes Over the Bank

 

    KFC entered the Painted Post, NY market earlier this year in a rather unique way. Instead of building a new location, they actually wound up reusing a bank! In this day and age where most brands want cookie-cutter designs, it is a breathe of fresh air to see a corporate company reuse a building like this. While some interior work did obviously need to happen to accommodate KFC's needs, the structure itself remains mostly the same on the exterior other than a new paint job. Even if local codes were involved in forcing KFC to essentially make do with the existing structure, I have to give KFC a lor of credit for thinking outside the box to get a restaurant in this community.

I couldn't help but find the sight of only being able to see one side of the colonel's face to be amusingly creepy.
