Re: Burger King (177th & W Center Rd)

I went into one location in Lincoln last year to use the restroom, and afterwards tried to buy an iced tea or whatever to be considerate. You could tell that the AC wasn't working, and the casher told me that they were out of either large cups, or something like that and I had to walk out.

There's plenty of room on that corner. Only the East building would have to go in order to put a gas station in.

Maybe the lease was up, and it was an opportunity to get out of that strip mall bay without building new. I'd honestly like to see an established place with quality food and good customer service like Culver's expand in the state instead of another burger chain.
