The Kentucky Fried Chicken location at 1865 Easton Road in Willow Grove (across from the Willow Grove Park Mall) is permanently closed, according to its Google listing,

The location is also listed as closed on KFC’s website and the phone number associated with the location has been disconnected.

According to various sources, the popular chicken chain has closed hundreds of locations as of late due to a combination of stagnant U.S. sales, surging corporate and franchise operational costs, and intense competition from rival fast-food chains.

A nearby location exists at 8140 Ogontz Avenue in Wyncote (Cheltenham Township).
