  • Abandoned Long John Silver's - Kittanning, Pa. Rumor is that this place will be torn down for another restuarant (Taco Bell) to be built here. Not sure if that is true or not. Until then, this place continues to rot away just sitting here.

    The building is already torn down, they are building a Taco Bell in it's place. Currently the Taco Bell and KFC are in the same store at the next mall down. That building will be a KFC only once Taco Bell moves into their own building.

    The big lots and tractor supply was a ames until thier bankruptcy it sat vacant for 5 years I was amazed that something moved in after it was abandoned for so long. The shop n save was an old Kroger. Once Kroger closed shop n save moved in in under a year in part of it then dollar general took the other part of it a couple years later. The shopping center was hurting for a while but has seemed to gain new life. The long John silvers you filmed was torn down and a taco bell is moving in.

It closed up temporarily I think around March of 2018 for renovations then it opened it back up again then in February 2019 when I went it was still open but the drive through was closed then later on it closed up shop permanently. We used to have an Ames (Now Big Lots). Yes this location is now a Taco Bell. I can confirm that. The downfall of Long Johns is that they never changed their menu or added anything new. Yes they had A&W but people stopped eating grease at some point. Thanks for showing this off.

Tables were holding the WALL PIECES in place for years. See the pieces in the floor? That's how they were standing up. Tables shoved there to hold them up. Do you know what month or even year it was set to shut down permanently last time and was saved with a few days to go? Or who saved it? I'm guessing not.
