That Cubesmart used to be Tops, then it was briefly a Giant Eagle before it closed. The Big Lots was a Hills, then an Ames. There’s another abandoned Burger King in Sandusky, Ohio on Milan Road. It’s close to Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari Resorts and Conventions, and Cedar Point.
So awesome you got inside! Appreciating the content Wallie! The BK near my house just reopened after a major remodel. It closed in April, 2019. It’s been busy as all heck because we all missed it. The funniest think was seeing a girl in a Mc Donald’s uniform getting her dinner in BK after getting off shift. She was right after me in l8ne. That says it all! Keep it up Wallie!
The way you pronounced Elyria is correct Wallie. As far as the small shopping center behind the Burger King it was a Hills/Ames and it also had a Finast grocery store that later became Tops and for about a year or so after Tops closed a Giant Eagle.
I enjoy watching all of your content on your UA-cam Channel, Wallie! 👍👍👍 Here in Weirton, WV, we had our 1st BK on Three Brings Drive, where the DQ is currently located. Then, another BK, here in Weirton, opened up on Freedom Way, on the south end of Weirton. I believe the current BK, opened up for business, 5 or 6 years ago?
Back in the late 80s There was a Hills department store (was Finast/Topps after that) where all of us Teens used to go and meet up on Sunday night. Played loud music, showed off nice cars etc. it was a blast. But bk loves it because they got a lot of business. And Taco Bell that isn’t too far from there. Not sure if the TB is still there or not. It’s been awhile since I’ve been down that way.
There was a BK down in my old stomping grounds of Camden Arkansas & a stake house got shut down by the health department for not keeping the place clean
Hi Wallie! Great vid. We had one like that nearby our house. They tore it down in 21 and built a brand new one on the same spot. it's the very modern one. 2 drive thru's and very small building.
I live in the area and just started watching your videos!! I love abandos and love watching your videos!! I need to find a friend group to explore with!!!! Ugh!
There's now a closed/abandoned Long John Silver's here in Massillon right close by to where an OG Taco Bell was at (now Mr Hero). You should check it out whenever your're in the area! Heck, you can even stop nearby and see a ex-McDonald's that's now a dentist office in North Canton...or better yet, a Wendy's that's now a clothing shop in Canton lol
Many burger kings have closed. It’s just crazy this one did to where I live there’s one a few mins from me. however, there used to be a play land there and they closed it permanently just the play land permanently.
You haven't had an open door in a while. They always make me nervous bc hearing sirens I think they're coming after you. Lol. There is a Burger King in Cambridge and was by a K-Mart. K-Mart is now Rural King and Marshall's and Bealls.
Fan since 2019! I love your abandoned content and im autistic, someday I wanna be like you but get permission to explore the inside if the owners of the property would be still in business!
What a beautiful Burger King and mine has a solarium too and I ate in the solarium a few times. Question, what's a Cube Smart or Q Smart? Weird name for a store. :/
I do want to offer a business theory about Burger Kings demise as a company. Well look ever since I was a kid which I was born in 85 so I'm 38 going on 39 now. I can remember since basically the early to mid-90s Burger King has been bought and sold, off the top of my head I would say at least four to five times. So it's not even the original company, it hasn't been for a very very long time and this is a major problem because, these big conglomerates show up they put companies like this and their portfolio they talk a great game about how they're going to make all these days instead they want to come up with a series of dumbass goofy but very costly products that are largely gimmicky if not seasonal that they then force that cost on two the franchise holders. And to be clear about franchise holders... So for example you could have Frisch's Big boy. But your name is Bill and you'd like a franchise, Well if Frisch's is the one who hold the rights to Grant independent franchise license if your area you will not be doing business with the head big boy company now you will be contacting Frisch's so they are the regional franchise holder that will in turn Grant licenses to smaller operators and yes it's also true that they will run a lot of their own stores those stores are referred to as company stores not because they are owned by the absolute head company but because Frisch's in that particular area is the head company! So Burger King basically works the same way you have these big franchise holders and they will run a lot of their own stores and they might for extra income so they don't have to bear the cost of running the restaurant themselves, they will go ahead and license another person to become a franchise holder. It's a bit of a confusing web because every company and region is different but that's the basics. So if you're the head (head) company that comes up with product and you wish to bring it to market you must force this on to (All franchises). So if you are a burger joint in the mid 90's or mid 2000's and you force your franchises to carry a (veggie burger) that is certainly not a money maker because the non meat eaters don't want to give you money because, the restaurant in their eyes killed Bessy the cow.... well that's a hit many of your franchise holders may never recover from. The impossible blubber isn't much better of a product. They've lost focus on the core customers and as a result of offering gimmicky crap to a group of people who don't want to come to your restaurant they've been offering other high prices gimmicky crap to compensate. So high price on top of high price for mostly come and go products is frankly a piss poor business model. Overly complicated menus are a big problem as another side effect of having too much unfocused crap! Look if you want to appeal to burger eaters like "good old days" then slim tgecdamn menu down cut the fat thus saving operating costs from excess inventory for each restaurant and then pass the savings into customers. Then you'll be busy via volume sales. Welp they didn't do any of that and don't have plans to do so. Please card in my foul language but I cannot stress enough the money that these idiots have blown on electronic menus to show us fucking calories more than they show the prices hasn't done them any favors either. I know... But but but... McDonald's and others have done.... Who cares? If you're not McDonald's or "other's" Then why care? Oh oh oh but but but the trend the trend. Fuck the trend! Like it's okay to have an electronic menu, but the prices need to be displayed at all times fuck the calories if you're so concerned about it have a chart that the clerk then can tell the dumbass with the calories are. First off I think the burger industry needs to take a stand against care and customers and inform them that if you're going to a fast food joint you cannot be super serious about worrying on the topic of calories. Also one sandwich is not going to kill you. So fine have the electronic menu but you know I wouldn't want to associate with anyone who is going to not want to eat at hamburger joint simply based on their menu board is less spiffy then McDonald's menu board. I mean what kind of a jackass going to avoid eating at a restaurant simply because their menu board is apparently not trendy? I mean the amounts of money that these companies blow on some of the dumbest of finite bullshit right there could account for better wages but it could also go towards perhaps better quality food thicker hamburgers less of a damn vegetable tray because that's what a lot of burger joints have become you go there you order a burger even the biggest damn Burger on the menu and what do you end up with? The papers and Patty between two pieces of bread that's basically stuffed with vegetables what you've ordered my friend is a fucking vegetable tray with a taste of meat! So my overall conclusion to this but my most other companies is devise is simply it's of their own making because of all the clutzy bastards that has taken turns at owning the company frankly driving it into a fucking ditch! But then there's the other hand.... No I don't think everybody magically became health conscious like has been forced down our throats to believe for the past 24 years, no I don't really think that the public, public on mass has attempted to make major moves away from fast food joints for the sheer fact that they are fast food... I will say in large part just like with every business if every industry there's an income deficiency across the population people aren't going to go and pay $3 to $6 if not $8 for one steak and sandwich and a shitty amount of fries with a watered down drink. I mean for those prices you could have a very filling decent lunch over at fazoli's. And right there is proof that no the public has not left fast food behind simply because fazoli's is technically fast food. I would say what's really been driving this for the past 16 to 18 years is primarily one of economics you know price per poundage I mean what are you getting for your money? Is there again it's not the typical burger joint can't keep up it is simply all of the nonsensical products that are forced on Sam they have to technically try to make the best of it see this is the bitch is it's like you know if you're forced to carry products but then the bigger company all the sudden decides they don't want to do product x anymore well tough shit you can have a freezer full of this sure you could throw it away and take the right off which they do but when you're talking about what dollar amount you could have gotten out of a customer versus what tax credit the government is going to give you you could be throwing away a hell of a lot of money. How do you recover from that well they kind of don't they just grab a hold of the next product that the company forces on them and hope to fuck they can make money but it never really pans out that way does it? So now I don't think that the public has abandoned fast food I will say perhaps taste buds have changed a bit but that is simply because of the price and scale of what you are getting it's not that they don't want a big juicy fucking cheeseburger, it's simply a big juicy fucking cheeseburger doesn't really exist anymore not on the go! But hey you can go there and get ice cream with fucking Oreo cookies busted up in it and then they're going to write Oreo all over it and you can pay 6-8 bucks for this fucking thing.... Remember I did ask you to pardon my foul language. But I can certainly say somebody even if my age was well it frankly pisses me off how poorly they have run these companies oh and by the way retail department stores is another one's my specialties to bitch about! Kmart oh buddy I could talk for hours on Kmart!
I’m pretty sure I went there within 2 weeks of it closing, wasn’t really shocked when i saw it closed…and that cubes mart was an old Tops and I think an Ames at one point
No wonder they shut down, that is HUGE! I've never seen one that big before! Why would you waste so much money building something like that for a chain that is mostly drive thru business??? No wonder they shut it down. Such a waste of money. And look at how HUGE that parking lot is!!! Did they expect Greyhound busses full of people every day??? Geez.
the cubsmart self storage nera the burger kinfng you jsut oil was not a kmart it used to be a Tops Friendly Market 821 Cleveland St, Elyria, OH 44035, United States
@@brianm7185 yes it was. I used to use it. The Blue Sky has been there for about 15 years now. I no longer live in Elyria, but I used to live in the Eastern Heights area on Stanford for about 20 years until 2019. Left just before COVID hit.
There's abandoned Kentucky Fried Chicken then it bacame Lenny's Chicken Fingers In Elyria Ohio And And next door abandoned Aces Checks Cashed in Elyria Ohio.
"This floor is so gross and sticky" There are starving children who would love to eat that floor, sir! Seriously though; another great video, thanks Wallie!
It is being fixed up right now. Not sure what it is going to be. Last time I was in there I almost got into a fight. It was right at the beginning when vaping was becoming popular. I had stopped a 2 pack a day smoking habit with vaping. This guy was in there drinking coffee and making huge clouds with vape. I told him he was a jerk for doing that in there and by doing that he would end up ruining it for business that wanted to allow it. A couple years later I was right. Elyria needs a lot of work.
The storage room is where they keep all the left over food they left behind and you said Warren wrong LOL (just kidding just had to since everyone says you say the towns wrong)
Well I will say that within the conspiracy crowd for the lack of a better term, or perhaps it's just the general nostalgia crowd. You know a lot of people look back to '70s and 80s movies and of course I can say it seems like it's more so 80s movies, and people like to say well in many ways they sort of predicted future. And I bring it up because to see these abandoned restaurants stores and a lot of movies that depicted you know a collapsed society or you know a society that was very so much going downhill there was always an abandoned restaurant that definitely puts in your mind of one of these fast food joints and now it is a bit surreal because well they're all over the map. I will say that I lived down here in Newark and I was born and raised in this town and I was born in 85 so I'm 38 now and I do remember a fair amount about the late '80s and the early 90s and I will say that I did enjoy Burger King but I'll also say that forever today it took Burger King a lot to conduct any real remodeling projects and at one point there was a franchise holder that had the Burger Kings near me wanted this guy was a gambler and he was basically gambling away the money breads whatever and they were really happy to make do with a lot of things ultimately he ends up losing the franchises but then Burger King turn around and let him keep I can't remember I think maybe like four to eight of them somewhere north of here. The guy's name is Mike lotch. The last name I probably spelled wrong but that's how it's pronounced. I'm trying to think that went down I want to say it was the mid-2000s. I'm pretty sure that I was out of high school and in my early 20s when that happened I could be mistaken it might have been very early 2000's. But on a side note I had mentioned that I remember a fair portion of the 1980s basically the very tale end of it as I was a three to four year old kid. But I can also remember a lot about the early 90s and I can say that there was a lot of karaoke of the 19 80 and it took a good while for this town to really start looking like something out of the '90s or even early 2000's. And I suppose point to my rambles is when I was a kid I used to think of some of those '80s movies because yeah we didn't divide by the rating system and it wasn't really that hard to imagine a lot of these places literally being empty if not tore up to a degree. I will say that one thing to the conspiracy folks might have correct is it if you asked a lot of people 30 years ago perhaps 35 years ago and if you ask a lot of people today they would tell you roughly the same thing which is humanity is a whole but particularly the society is on a downward trend. So did the movies actually predict the future or were they just running off of the data that was showing what direction is actually headed because if you have a data set to look at you could call it a prediction but in reality if nobody is doing anything to change what that data is showing then technically it's not really prediction it is the laid out path and trajectory that we've been on. So it's like for instance you know today a lot of people hollered about the inflation particularly at the grocery store but what's interesting that was an open discussion back in the '80s and '90s I mean this is why you ended up with things like farm aid. It was basically said even in the mid 80s that you know the government want s cheap food for the population and most atile why problem is you can't really subsidize your way to prosperity eventually that comes to a halt meaning the inflation that they hid with it big ticket items such as houses was eventually going to spread the food but it's almost as if everyone acts like this is a concept even people from that time act I was so surprised it all of the businesses that are going belly up and the cost of the food and all this other stuff it's like wait a minute there was an open discussion and a lot of you took part don't you remember any of that shit? So that's the trick nobody bothered to really change anything and I would say cosmetically because of nostalgia everybody is tried year after year decade after decade to hang on to the 80s just a little longer and it obviously has failed miserably. I mean I really enjoy this genre of videos and by myself and basically a complete history not for years I have studied business and ever since I was a kid I was always interested in it thanks too and fascinated with basically old companies but I've also noticed that through the past decade it's not just a handful of us anymore everybody is a literally walking around wading through what once was. It's kind of creepy if you think about it it's like you know people say well where's that big ass economic collapse? All these guys have been talking about these terrible horrible things going to happen what not yet it doesn't really seem like any what's happening it's like well yeah okay so there was no announcement last afternoon and yeah right people still go to work and what but on the other hand the boatload of people are dedicating their free time and a lot of those things that used to be died fairly recently I would say we're watching it in front of us but there's an entertainment factor to it we're being entertained by basically our own economics unwinding!
That Cubesmart used to be Tops, then it was briefly a Giant Eagle before it closed. The Big Lots was a Hills, then an Ames. There’s another abandoned Burger King in Sandusky, Ohio on Milan Road. It’s close to Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari Resorts and Conventions, and Cedar Point.
The CubeSmart kinda has a similar facade of a Bradlees, although it wasn’t.
So awesome you got inside! Appreciating the content Wallie! The BK near my house just reopened after a major remodel. It closed in April, 2019. It’s been busy as all heck because we all missed it. The funniest think was seeing a girl in a Mc Donald’s uniform getting her dinner in BK after getting off shift. She was right after me in l8ne. That says it all! Keep it up Wallie!
The way you pronounced Elyria is correct Wallie. As far as the small shopping center behind the Burger King it was a Hills/Ames and it also had a Finast grocery store that later became Tops and for about a year or so after Tops closed a Giant Eagle.
That was abandoned Hills department store, then they changed it to Ames oh, now it's like a storage facility
I enjoy watching all of your content on your UA-cam Channel, Wallie! 👍👍👍 Here in Weirton, WV, we had our 1st BK on Three Brings Drive, where the DQ is currently located. Then, another BK, here in Weirton, opened up on Freedom Way, on the south end of Weirton. I believe the current BK, opened up for business, 5 or 6 years ago?
Former CBK Burger King that got bought by Tom's King.
I used to work at the one in Sandusky until 2016, years before CBK went belly-up.
Cool find, Wallie! I’m glad you didn’t accidentally squish Greg. 😂 He was there to welcome you in to BK! 😊
LOL!
Back in the late 80s There was a Hills department store (was Finast/Topps after that) where all of us Teens used to go and meet up on Sunday night. Played loud music, showed off nice cars etc. it was a blast. But bk loves it because they got a lot of business. And Taco Bell that isn’t too far from there. Not sure if the TB is still there or not. It’s been awhile since I’ve been down that way.
Just came across your channel. Love your content!
Thank you and welcome!
Awesome Video Wallie keep up the great video buddy :D
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome job man. Keep it going 👍
Even respecting the indoor weeds! Another great abandoned explore
There was a BK down in my old stomping grounds of Camden Arkansas & a stake house got shut down by the health department for not keeping the place clean
No one ever questions Wallies powers to find so many places that aren't vandalized, even places that have been abandoned for more than a decade
Thanks for another great video!
Since your in Elyria Ohio I hope you check out the midway mall area lots of empty restaurants etc
I was surprised that door was unlocked its amazing videos you do be awesome to see a abandoned place in person
Your new intro is awesome! I love it
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Wallie! Great vid. We had one like that nearby our house. They tore it down in 21 and built a brand new one on the same spot. it's the very modern one. 2 drive thru's and very small building.
Great video as always badass that u got inside appreciate the great content
I went back onto street view onto that Cubesmart, Looks like it was a Bradlees at one point before Cubesmart got the property.
I live in the area and just started watching your videos!! I love abandos and love watching your videos!! I need to find a friend group to explore with!!!! Ugh!
There's now a closed/abandoned Long John Silver's here in Massillon right close by to where an OG Taco Bell was at (now Mr Hero). You should check it out whenever your're in the area!

Good video! No Whopper for you today! That must have been something to get inside this place! Sure is an old school Burger King place!
Those old booths are the best. So nostgic and colorful.
Wallie, that train probably has a heritage unit and a jabber.
Now hiring. For what? To chop all the weeds? Great video as always!
There's another Burger King in Elyria on West River Road that is closed down you should have checked it out while you was checking IHOP over there.
Love the videos I’ll see in PA
Part 2 one of them was a Kmart and they other one was a hills i do believe my uncle might know more but Kmart yeah the other one I kinda Shure
There used to be a Topps grocery store right over from it. I think it was the best bk in Elyria.
I worked there when I was in High School back in 1998
the burger king sheffield (a city close by) turned into a starbucks !
That was pretty cool you got to go inside another cool video
That building where cub smart is was a tops grocery store. Where big lots/dollar tree is was a Ames
You haven't had an open door in a while. They always make me nervous bc hearing sirens I think they're coming after you. Lol. There is a Burger King in Cambridge and was by a K-Mart. K-Mart is now Rural King and Marshall's and Bealls.

Hey... OG here...BK in Bethel Park across
from South Park Shops on Rt 88 has been closed for a few months. Come on down and leave some buttons. 😁
I do believe that was a hills and / or ames. I was there earlier this year. I think your thinking the Middleburg heights one. Nice one
What a beautiful Burger King and mine has a solarium too and I ate in the solarium a few times. Question, what's a Cube Smart or Q Smart? Weird name for a store. :/
Wow 👌 awesome video BK
It is just like downtown Warren Ohio. I need to film it soon.
I don’t remember exactly where but there was a red barn across the street there somewhere then later on a block buster.
70s Burger King, looks identical to the one that used to be in Seven Hills by where Kmart was demolished for the new Meijers

Hey, there is an abandoned BK in Beavercreek, Ohio that just closed. The most recent review was 4 days ago.
I’m pretty sure I went there within 2 weeks of it closing, wasn’t really shocked when i saw it closed…and that cubes mart was an old Tops and I think an Ames at one point
I know a friend of mine who knows why the take the table tops the are transferring to another location happy Wednesday wallie 😎🤘
The k mart in elyria is now Marc's discount grocery store
You have caught all of the NS heritage units, now you can start on the CSX heritage units.
That's a late 70's early 80's BK building. Old school.
You don't see many Burger King restaurants that are as old school as this one. Great video.
No wonder they shut down, that is HUGE! I've never seen one that big before! Why would you waste so much money building something like that for a chain that is mostly drive thru business??? No wonder they shut it down. Such a waste of money. And look at how HUGE that parking lot is!!! Did they expect Greyhound busses full of people every day??? Geez.
There always a abandoned Burger King near a old Kmart

Let’s go wallie
Nice intro 😎
This site is now being remodeled in to a Mexican restaurant. Hopefully they serve West Coast style carne asada!
Someone bought the building and redoing it
It is being fixed up right now. Not sure what it is going to be. Last time I was in there I almost got into a fight. It was right at the beginning when vaping was becoming popular. I had stopped a 2 pack a day smoking habit with vaping. This guy was in there drinking coffee and making huge clouds with vape. I told him he was a jerk for doing that in there and by doing that he would end up ruining it for business that wanted to allow it. A couple years later I was right. Elyria needs a lot of work.
Let’s go 🎉🎉🎉Wally
😊

Hills till late 90s
Well that's the way it bounces when your railfan Wally
that looks old school
Had a friend go there once and took a gigantic shit and clogged up the works…….
Well I will say that within the conspiracy crowd for the lack of a better term, or perhaps it's just the general nostalgia crowd.
You know a lot of people look back to '70s and 80s movies and of course I can say it seems like it's more so 80s movies, and people like to say well in many ways they sort of predicted future.
And I bring it up because to see these abandoned restaurants stores and a lot of movies that depicted you know a collapsed society or you know a society that was very so much going downhill there was always an abandoned restaurant that definitely puts in your mind of one of these fast food joints and now it is a bit surreal because well they're all over the map.
I will say that I lived down here in Newark and I was born and raised in this town and I was born in 85 so I'm 38 now and I do remember a fair amount about the late '80s and the early 90s and I will say that I did enjoy Burger King but I'll also say that forever today it took Burger King a lot to conduct any real remodeling projects and at one point there was a franchise holder that had the Burger Kings near me wanted this guy was a gambler and he was basically gambling away the money breads whatever and they were really happy to make do with a lot of things ultimately he ends up losing the franchises but then Burger King turn around and let him keep I can't remember I think maybe like four to eight of them somewhere north of here.
The guy's name is Mike lotch. The last name I probably spelled wrong but that's how it's pronounced.
I'm trying to think that went down I want to say it was the mid-2000s.
I'm pretty sure that I was out of high school and in my early 20s when that happened I could be mistaken it might have been very early 2000's.
But on a side note I had mentioned that I remember a fair portion of the 1980s basically the very tale end of it as I was a three to four year old kid.
But I can also remember a lot about the early 90s and I can say that there was a lot of karaoke of the 19 80 and it took a good while for this town to really start looking like something out of the '90s or even early 2000's.
And I suppose point to my rambles is when I was a kid I used to think of some of those '80s movies because yeah we didn't divide by the rating system and it wasn't really that hard to imagine a lot of these places literally being empty if not tore up to a degree.
I will say that one thing to the conspiracy folks might have correct is it if you asked a lot of people 30 years ago perhaps 35 years ago and if you ask a lot of people today they would tell you roughly the same thing which is humanity is a whole but particularly the society is on a downward trend.
So did the movies actually predict the future or were they just running off of the data that was showing what direction is actually headed because if you have a data set to look at you could call it a prediction but in reality if nobody is doing anything to change what that data is showing then technically it's not really prediction it is the laid out path and trajectory that we've been on.
So it's like for instance you know today a lot of people hollered about the inflation particularly at the grocery store but what's interesting that was an open discussion back in the '80s and '90s I mean this is why you ended up with things like farm aid.
It was basically said even in the mid 80s that you know the government want s cheap food for the population and most atile why problem is you can't really subsidize your way to prosperity eventually that comes to a halt meaning the inflation that they hid with it big ticket items such as houses was eventually going to spread the food but it's almost as if everyone acts like this is a concept even people from that time act I was so surprised it all of the businesses that are going belly up and the cost of the food and all this other stuff it's like wait a minute there was an open discussion and a lot of you took part don't you remember any of that shit?
So that's the trick nobody bothered to really change anything and I would say cosmetically because of nostalgia everybody is tried year after year decade after decade to hang on to the 80s just a little longer and it obviously has failed miserably.
I mean I really enjoy this genre of videos and by myself and basically a complete history not for years I have studied business and ever since I was a kid I was always interested in it thanks too and fascinated with basically old companies but I've also noticed that through the past decade it's not just a handful of us anymore everybody is a literally walking around wading through what once was.
It's kind of creepy if you think about it it's like you know people say well where's that big ass economic collapse?
All these guys have been talking about these terrible horrible things going to happen what not yet it doesn't really seem like any what's happening it's like well yeah okay so there was no announcement last afternoon and yeah right people still go to work and what but on the other hand the boatload of people are dedicating their free time and a lot of those things that used to be died fairly recently I would say we're watching it in front of us but there's an entertainment factor to it we're being entertained by basically our own economics unwinding!
This is Cleveland st elyria
