Fast food chains that have left Estill County

Lack of through traffic has hurt Estill County's business community. You soon exhaust your supply of local customers. Towns close to major interstates benefit from through traffic.

Irvine once had a Kentucky Fried chicken on River Drive from the mid 1970s until the 1990s.
Lee's Famous Recipe once had a location on the Richmond Road.

Irvine once had a Dairy Queen on the Richmond Road. Powell County has two Dairy Queens!

The Irvine Food Court once had a Burger King and Taco Bell. In the mid 1990s, a Columbia Steak house was in the food court. Let's help keep the food court open. I miss Taco Bell! Yo quiero Taco Bell!

Po Folks once had a resturant in the old KFC building on River Drive.

Anyone considering opening a resturant franchise in Estill County KY should consider looking at the Winchester Road. The only through traffic into Estill County comes from KY 89 N and KY 82 from the Mt. Parkway.

Lots of young people work at these fast food resturants. We need to create a better business climate so more young people could have a better economic future.
