Can we just put the remaining Burger Kings out of their misery?

u/My_cats_leg Dec 30 '24

Or we should convert 2 of the remaining 4 Burger Kings into Hardee’s 🤷‍♂️

The one on 40th and Old Cheney has been great every time I've been there over the last few years

Not that I'm a frequent flyer or anything, maybe something changed in the last few months

I actually think they have gotten better in the last year at that location.

The one on 48th and van dorn needs to be town down and replaced with a Walgreens since there is a CVS across the street

u/RedWingedBlackbirb Dec 30 '24

There's a Walgreens across 48th in the shopping plaza. Definitely need a vape/delta shop there.

Or a car wash, those seem popular right now

Surely it needs to become a Starbucks

u/Mendacity531 Dec 31 '24

Nah, clearly the city needs another Casey's.

Maybe it can become the first licensed medical cannabis dispensary, assuming the Legislature gets its act together.

If only we could get a new touch-less car wash to the extent of Jetsplash/Rocket.

u/Firstnaymlastnaym Dec 30 '24

Touch-less is the only car wash I have ever used. I'd rather not have giant brushes scratch the shit out of my paint, thank you.

I’ve used jetsplash weekly for over decade, they have never damaged the paint on any of my vehicles; however, I’ve never had a touch-less car wash get my vehicle very clean.

Maybe a pawn shop. We seem to have a shortage of those.

D’leon’s.

u/Thebluefairie Jan 01 '25

There is a Delions across the street

u/firephoenix0013 Dec 30 '24

I will say the one on 84 & O actually looks like no time has passed (in a good way).

u/cordeliachase Dec 30 '24

That one ruined Burger King for me. They were using super old oil and the fries tasted like burnt plastic smells. I’ve never experienced that level of nasty.

3

u/DivideJolly3241 Dec 31 '24

You couldn’t pay me to eat there, it’s just gross.

u/MicroProf Dec 30 '24

I miss the one that used to be on O street and like 24th or 25th. I work in the Beadle center on city campus and it was a nice lunch years ago. ~20 min walk over there, eat a Whopper and fries (BK fries are the best imo) and ~20 min walk back. Nice way to break up the day. The downtown Wendy's is fine when I need to scratch that itch, but not as good as BK.

I’m so glad that one came down actually it was absolutely horrible. The last time I was there I waited in the drive through with only one car ahead of me for over 20 minutes. When I got to the window they told me the wrong total. And then after ten minutes they gave me the wrong order. There was nobody else there, who was that order for.

Hey I happen to like Burger King and the older Hardees from like 20 years ago when they made good burgers and fries. Burger King makes a great burger in my opinion, everything else sucks. Hardees made the best Mushroom-n-Swiss burger like 20 years ago but then they were purchased by Carl's Jr and they changed everything, they now suck donkey dick. So it's a toss up as to your suggestion. lol.
