New KFC Opens In Palms? Sort of...(Instead of Fried Chicken, They Sell Marijuana)

[Ganjarden]

There has been an abandoned Kentucky Fried Chicken in Palms, slumping sadly these past few months on the corner of Exposition Blvd. and Hughes Ave. What, locals wondered, would replace it? A new burger joint? A Peruvian rotisserie chicken stand? It turns out that the KFC has been replaced by... a KFC. In this instance, though, the KFC stands for "Kind For Cures", and while they do sell things that are edible, you can't buy them, or even ask about them, without a prescription.

There have been marijuana dispensaries popping up all over Southern California of late, but this one is slightly different. Rather than tearing the whole thing down and starting from scratch, the proprietors of this alternative KFC decided to incorporate the design of the previous tenants. They have removed the official Kentucky Fried Chicken logo, but the rest of the building remains mostly intact.

So do they plan on selling hot biscuits with THC butter? Can you order your Pineapple Express by the bucket? Do they offer family meals? "No comment." Hm. I suppose we'll have to take that as a no.

Kind For Cures, 3516 Hughes Ave, Palms, (310) 836-5463

i love the look

and while they do sell things that are edible, you can't buy them, or even ask about them, without a prescription

the journalist needs to do some simple research to find out that its not by prescription but by recomendation

original or extra danky?

seriously though: the kfc in the town near where i live in just closed, but it will just fall into disrepair along with several other business that have folded. glad to see that there are communities that dont fear the "evil weed" and are keeping their buildings open for business and maintained.

if my state let us do something like that we would put 100s upon 100s of vacated properties back into the free market. then add on the 1000s of new jobs.
its a cant miss proposition, but hell no, they would rather the place just turn into another f**kin eyesore and keep a chunk of the unemployed lookin for work. well i got alot more to say but im pissed off now so i better just end it here ...
