SpaceGhost Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 So does anyone know what's there right now? Streetview still shows the location as a Krystals although imagery shows that the building has been painted blue. Also does anyone know why this was the only location that ever opened in Houston or why it closed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 From what I remember reading on West Houston Archives (a great site that you should see if not already) was closed by 2012. It was probably a franchised location that just didn't do as well as it was supposed to (I remember a Burger King locally that was built new and closed after just about a year--it is now a Chicken Express).

acamarillo Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 it is called something like El Regio Pollo al Carbon. Essential smoked chicken. Go by it a lot but haven't stopped to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your talking about the Chicken Express near downtown Bryan? I remember that Krystal restaurant wa supposed to be the first of many throught Texas and the Houston area including Bryan-College Station. That never happened I don't know why, but I waited and waited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like Krystal, sometimes franchises don't work out...the Burger King was supposed to be the first of 4-5 new stores, but there's only 3 in the area, total. (At least Houston seems to be getting their Carl's Jr., something we were promised but still denied) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
