What does your post mean? Is KFC in Pahoa closing? If so good riddance.

Yea, if a fast food restaurant is against my political philosophy, then I don't want anyone to have the right to eat there.
As far as the people who found a job at KFC (one of the few places that offered a job in Pahoa instead of welfare), TOO BAD!

It will be interesting to see what takes it's place eventually.

Cagary, with all due respect I think you've got it backwards.
I have no "political philosophy" driving my opinion about restaurants. That's my tastebuds' job. So...If I think a restaurant sucks, does me saying "good riddance" deny someone else of their right to eat there? The logic doesn't work.
In fact this situation is not political at all; we have only the free market to blame for "denying people the right to eat there," since ultimately the lack of business (or poor management?) proved to be KFC's demise. How dare the free market take away my right to eat greasy fried chicken in Pahoa!
And as far as the people who found a job at KFC? I feel bad for them. Unfortunately KFC proved NOT to be a sustainable business venture, that's how the free market is suppose to work, right? So the folks who decided to put the restaurant there in the first place must accept responsibility for their poor decision and/or execution of the business plan. Hopefully a SUSTAINABLE business (embraced by the community) will one day replace KFC.

I wish they would have made some sort of announcement. I waited four hours at the "drive-through".

Punafish, I completely agree. I also wonder if part of the closing had to do with the lawsuit filed by the propety owners against KAzi in May?

**So in a positive vein, what would you go to regularly when something else goes in there?**
1) "Island Natural's" type *slow food* restaurant?
2) Non-weekend day Farmer's market in the parking lot?
3) Goodwill/Recyle kind of store (taking kitchen out?)
4) Rentable certified kitchen for small food businesses incubator?
