January 28, 201412 yr it is also the ugliest. There's some simpletons that want it saving too It's classic brutal architecture. Filmed a film there and the film crew were all from down south. Travelled all way specially for that station. First kfc was Preston opened by Ray Allen. Who then started the Allens franchise. He had the UK license for kfc.
January 28, 201412 yr First drive thru was arizona iirc. A mcds manager had a Windows put in the side of the building as soldiers from the local army base were not allowed to leave their jeeps etc.

It's only literally in the last 18 months or so that I've realised Allen's is a genuine franchise and not just a knock off KFC.
January 28, 201412 yr It's only literally in the last 18 months or so that I've realised Allen's is a genuine franchise and not just a knock off KFC. Allen's is also shit. I know plenty on here think KFC is awful, but by fuckery, Allen's is a whole lot worse.

There's some simpletons that want it saving too Weren't you (rightly) arguing the case for those fow CP Goggle Jackets as an item of posterity (due to the technology of the fabrics) not long ago? There's some stuff needs saving that's just as important architecturally, even if they aren't aesthetically pleasing to us - like Swanny mentions, there's folk with an interest in it, and, as it's only the Preston nobheads that have to put up with it, not us, keep the eyesore standing I say.
