Potsdam Kentucky Fried Chicken to close at the end of the month

POTSDAM -- Fans of extra crispy will have to travel to a drive-thru further afield for lunch soon when Kentucky Fried Chicken at 119 Maple St. in Potsdam closes its doors at the end of this month.

It seems rumors of the restaurant's closing on social media are true.

"One of our franchisees has decided to close this restaurant at the end of this month. While this is always a difficult decision, we appreciate the patronage of our loyal guests," Lori Eberenz, KFC director of public relations and partnerships based in Louisville, Ky., told North Country This Week.

The drive-thru eatery opened in December 2018 as one of the anchor restaurants at the Mountain Mart convenience store there.

The other drive-thru at the location is a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise.

Bruce Monette, Jr., president of Adirondack Energy in Malone and developer and operator of Mountain Mart convenience stores around the North Country, owns the store.
