My wife was in MC today and wanted to bring home a bucket of KFC, but she said it's closed and looks like it might be a permanent closure. Is this true? What happened?

Doesn't look good, Mike:

They have been struggling. Rumor was health and safety led to the first shutdown, then new management took over and struggled with staffing. May have just never made enough money. Fast food is a brutal profit margin.

Well that's too bad. I like KFC. Was hoping it would stick this time. Maybe now the Airport will bring back fried chicken!

Truth be told, here in Helena the local grocery store Thriftway sells Chester fried chicken which to my taste buds is better than KFC. Chester-fied chicken is widely available across Montana.

Since it has been kind of slow here lately, let's start the debate. Which do you prefer, KFC or Chester-fied?
