They're predominant in 'the hood'. If it's not survived there, neither will you.
I think you mean "da hood".
If it's closed, you might be in "das hood", listning to the destroyer circling above.

Kirov reporting
Bad neighborhoods in germany:
I think you mean "za hood".
I think you mean "za hoodt"
churchs, wafflehouse, and popeys are systematically setting up their locations in low income neigbourhoods, or "the hood" if you so want,
and are pretty well known, for not taking shit, and being prepared for, or have contingency plans for every eventuallity, (natural disasters, fights, shootouts, infrastructural colapse etc)
if they have to close at a location, that must be a poor and dangerous neighborhood even for hood standards.
Popeyes is in middle class burb. Churches and Checkers/Ralleys aare certified hood classics
i find popeyes to me more the herald of changing times.
upper middle class - canes
middle class - kfc
impending doom to middle class - popeyes
broken windows with bars - churches and so on
Out of a van BBQ - Broken bars on broken windows all around
Tasty, tho
AYYYo that’s that good shit. White guy who grew up in the hood
TIL I’m upper middle class. Feels good feels good
enjoy that extra cup of sauce FOR FREE
tis good to be rich *extends pinky while fisting entire chicken strip and hand into sauce up*
We don’t actually extend our pinkies. That’s just so you proles announce yourselves to our children
Dump that rich man's slaw on a rich man's sandwich combo, close it in with that rich man's lettuce, toasted buns, and slather it in that sweet rich rich man's sauce.
Raising Canes. *Yeah, it's for white people. TM
Nah, you're just bringing down their property values, lol
As long as the County or whomever levies property taxes gets the message
Damn I have all of those within a 5 mile radius... what does it mean??
different districts have clear dividing lines (like the sudden presence of trees or non broken sidewalks)
you basically at the border of arizona/new mexico/colorado/ utah but instead of state lines socio economic lines
Idk they're all on the same strip of road... WH and Canes are adjacent too. The popeyes is brand new.
Near me lol
::kicks a used crack pipe into the gutter while looking at the Canes my kid works at next to the Churches I eat:: Canes chicken is a dry, salty white people affair that makes me once more ashamed to be white
that's cuz your meant to drown it in the sauce.
get lost in the sauce brother
There is a closed KFC across the street from an open Church’s here
you are witnessing the timeline of a once great area.
Oddly enough it is being gentrified. But your bike will be stolen
lol this is very true. Where does Hardy’s fit in this schedule.
dude i'd give my left nut for a hardy's. most of the ones within several states of me have gone out of business. the ultimate omlette sandwich and what not. god i miss it :(
Ngl never been. Only seen like 3 in my life but there’s one about 40 minutes from me. I guess I know what I’m getting.
where i live, on one side of the freeway, is a popeyes. on the other is canes. i kind of love having access to both.
You say this, and in my country, Popeye's for me is kinda an expensive fastfood.
:(
don't know to break this too you fam.........
albeit the universal fried chicken social theory has only been tested in murika. I cannot speak for other countries.
What if you have a combination KFC/Taco Bell? 🤔 Asking for myself.
Also, I halfway know the answer since it's next door to a White Castle.
I don’t entirely disagree as I see all as willing to set up in higher income areas if they can find affordable locations. But that’s is absolutely the order in which they bail as the area declines. When the Churches leaves, the neighborhood has either gotten so good/expensive or so bad that they get out.
Good to know. My shitty city has been getting Popeye’s left & right lately. I guess we’re on the road to riches!
Hip hop chicken; lock your doors.
Shout out Detroit, where my Captain Jay's Fish & Chicken enjoyers at?
Add Crown Fried Chicken as a hood staple.
Where might I find my self if I happened across a Krispy krunchy?
A gas station in a city
I believe that signifies you are in sheep fuck nowhere.
The hospital.
Then you are at a gas station in a hood with a level 4 travel advisory. Seek evacuation immediately.
Didn’t think that about Rally’s. Their fries are damn good, and I don’t care where they’re at. . But where I’m at, I don’t think I’ve seen one in a “nice” part of town, so that makes sense.
. . .
Here I am having spent 25 years of my life always living within walking distance of a Popeyes, Checkers, and Churches and thinking I lived in pretty nice communities.
Now Hook Fish & Chicken... that was a little bit of a sketch locale.
Depends how old the location is.
New (built in the last 5-10 years)? Middle class suburb with a decently liberal/non-catholic demographic.
Old? Either shits about to go down, or you know it’s being gentrified as we speak.
man i havent seen a ralleys in a hot minute
Odd, the only checkers I know of is off of one of those six lane half highways half main streets in a rather affluent part of that town
Damn there’s a popeyes and a 2 checkers in the military town i just left. But also everything was shit there soooooo
This, plus there's a waffle house in a fairly nice area of my town... white people use that to determine when to run from a hurricane... if they close, fkn leave! Lol
Passing the fucking buck like a dollar general
I think Popeyes is moving on up. I’ve seen some on NJ in locations that are no way qualified as ‘hood’.
Happy cake day!!
Apparently they are going to open in Belfast, Ireland very soon. I for one look forward to that since the last time I had Popeyes was in Philly and me and my son loved their chicken!
Popeyes is very international now, we were talking about one in Spain over in r/Louisiana the other day.
You won't get the right breading north of Jackson MS, though. They gotta make it bland for the Yankees and Midwest.
Send us the recipe please! 💚
Reminds me of They Cloned Tyrone.
I don't know what you're talking about, Waffle Houses are fucking everywhere. At least when it comes to major roads and moreso highways. You're not gonna find a Waffle House in a suburb, but still
Old roommate was deadset on moving into a place like that cause it was cheap. Had a closed down Wafflehouse and the church was surrounded by a fence with concertina wire at the top. They weren't fucking around.
If you see a closed Waffle House, run.
IF Waffle House can't get there, you have no chance.
What if I blinked and two Waffle House’s appeared on either side of the street I’m on?
gentrification :3
So all Indians are basically fucked?
Economic cemetery
Black Peter Here:
Church's chicken is a well known friend chicken chain based in Texas. Their profit model has been based primarily on purchasing cheap real estate in pour neighborhoods and selling fried chicken. In most US cities, cheap commercial real estate is concentrated in communities blighted by poverty and are usually populated by minorities and most abundantly, black neighborhoods.
Church's profit model works well offering a quick and low cost food option to feed a family when time is of the essence even on a low income. If the local Church's chicken is closed, it because the local community has seen economic hardship so severe that they cannot afford to purchase food at the local Church's.
Black Mathemetician Hired By Peter:
Inflation has made Church's profit model ineffective in the last 10 years. The company has chosen to rebrand as Texas Chicken and are increasing their prices to cater to more higher income peoples in more affluent neighborhoods. The same bucket now costs 40% more than they did 10 years ago and Texas chicken is appearing in more zip codes that also share a Whole Foods and Chic Fil A.
Texas Chicken is Church's Chicken? I feel lied to
Black Mathemetician Hired By Peter:
Yes. It's the Fried Chicken Chain equivalent White Presbyterian church vs Black Baptist church. You get a similar vibe and flavor, but you know it's different.

Tenacity ✊
Church's chicken is known to be so very popular that once it gets closed down, it's a telltale sign that the neighborhood is abandoned.
Or dangerous
Both.
I live a major city. The only church’s that we have that haven’t been turned into something else while sitting dilapidated are in two of the worst neighborhoods in the city. One of which many people have probably seen in documentaries on the opioid crisis on YouTube.
Fuckin Philly
If you see an open Church's chicken you are probably in the wrong side of town.
Churches Chicken open - wrong side of town
Churches Chicken closed - wrong side of the wrong side of town
If you see a Church's Chicken...
Another repost
same with waffle house
if its closed
oh god
Totally different orders of magnitude of how fucked the area is
If a churches is closed, you should keep your head down and leave the area
If a waffle house is closed, you should figure out where the nearest fema camp is
That would be the perfect place for a whole foods market.
A similar store took over a beloved local restaurant that had the best damn breakfast in the world :(
Had a place near me like that best breakfast and soup in town, and covid closed it down. I bet mcdonalds didn't struggle too bad during covid.
If you see this lock your doors and get out of there
I didn’t know that these were considered hood restaurants. One of the most affluent neighborhoods in my area has a Waffle House and it’s always busy. My parents live in a really nice neighborhood and have a churches. I live in an overall middle class neighborhood and have a Popeyes that just opened by us.
I grew up in a nice upper middle class neighborhood. In freshman year of high school, we had a churches open up on the edge of town. By senior year, the area gained several liquor stores, check cashing places, and a rent-a-center, and the whole foods closed. Not saying it always happens, but a churches showing up might be a sign that the average income of the area is declining. Until recently, their entire business model revolved around finding the cheapest land leases possible, and providing good tasting food with as little overhead as possible.
PS: being a predictor of economic decline doesn't make them responsible for it. No hate on churches, except for their decision to switch from fried to baked apple pies.
Yeah man this is like seeing a closed down McDonald’s, you’re in the wrong neighborhood.
The local Church's Chicken shuts down, even the chicken knows it's time to cross the road... and keep going. If you're here, you're probably lost or the GPS just gave up on you
This goes beyond “the hood” if church’s is closed, you sir are in the trenches and need to leave asap because if it’s getting dark, there will be shootings
Church’s chicken is 🔥 though
its a repost, stop giving them upvotes
A boarded up Church’s chicken on MLK Blvd (anywhere in the USA) is a place to lock the doors and keep a foot on the accelerator
