VII. Adjournment
I have something to say about this., Why don’t they find a place on the Eastside of town like what about the old pizza hut building. It’s empty and just sitting there taking up space. WHY can’t the people open your eyes 👀 and look at this situation. More room with the old pizza hut building., Room for drive thru and plenty of parking. Think about this and don’t let two Burger Kings sit across the street from each other.
There will not be 2 Burger Kings, only one. Carrols (the franchise owner of the Batavia, Burger King) is moving to a better location. The current location they do not own, they pay high rent and do not own the building. They purchased property that was for sale and would work out great for them. If Carrols didn’t buy it, someone else would have. Everyone keeps saying the old Pizza Hut… Is it even for sale? It probably is but I’m sure that there is a reason that now one has bought it yet. It is possible that it is still under lease too, who knows but obviously there is a reason that has been vacant so long. But there is one Burger King in Batavia, just one and they are currently in a crumbling building.
