The Cuyahoga Falls KFC is set to become a Krispy Krunchy Chicken, but the future of the in Stow is still up in the air.
"In 2010, KFC sued , Gita Rao and Ganesh Rao Ponneri, alleging copyright infringement and breach of contract. KFC said the franchise failed to pay about $175,000 in royalties and advertising fees," according to an Akron Beacon Journal story. In March, Rao's Hospitality and KFC Corp. received a settlement in U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the restaurants were ordered to close by May 31, 2012 at midnight.
The Cuyahoga Falls KFC already closed and will be leased to be a Krispy Krunchy Chicken. But, the Stow location that was remains open.
"The renovations were mandated by KFC corporate, said Peter Paul, human resource director for Rao's Hospitality. Paul said Rao's spent approximately $370,000 on the Stow restaurant's recent facelift. 'We plan to keep it open,' he said, adding that whether the restaurant will remain a KFC remains to be seen," according to a Falls News Press story.
The owner/operator of this place should be embarrassed. The remodeling job was awful. The food was terrible, four people can not sit a table without being crammed and stepping on each other. There is not one thing good I can say about this place. I do not believe that any one in Stow, could disagree unless they have never attempted to eat there! I predict it willbe out of business in a year!!
allow honest opinions here. After all that is what this thing is about. There are lots of things I am positive of and that you are wrong is one of them.
