Burger King
From U of I Wiki
The Burger King in Campustown on the Urbana-Champaign campus was one location of the international fast food restaurant chain.
The restaurant closed on May 31, 2006, and was demolished in May 2007. Former owner Chuck Sedlak claimed that the location lost business after Green Street's traffic patterns made entry, exit and the drive-thru more difficult.
However, some partrons felt that the service was too slow to be profitable. The satirical student newspaper The Booze News said "you could wait in your Cherokee for twenty minutes before the garbled speakerphone even realizes your existence. And then it will take twenty more minutes for your food."
The Burger King location was demolished to construct College Corner, a student apartment complex.
The restaurant's address was 309 E. Green St. in Champaign.
