Found a Retro ABANDONED 1990's Burger King!

Today, we will be exploring a remnant of fast food history as we will be finding an abandoned 1990s Burger King. A vintage teal interior, also equipt with a sunroom, this old restaurant is a blast of nostalgia. The overgrown parking lots, and high grass suggest this location has been shuttered for decades. Watch the video to find out when this lost fast food chain was left behind. Hopefully you guys enjoy the video ! if you enjoyed and you're new to the channel, please consider subscribing and commenting, and liking the video, it helps me out alot !
thanks for watching everyone! have a good day !

This looks like a 1980's building design that was partially updated in the early 2000's when they had first switched to the round logo.

[@chrisgentry7242]

That commercial in the first of the video looks like it was back in the '70s.

[@marcberm]

@@chrisgentry7242 Definitely 70's

[@derealized797]

Just recently i was thinking back to the 1980s version of mcdonalds in my town growing up. Mostly, i was remembering mcdonalds land, the playground they had back then, with the big mayor mc cheese and the hamburgler swing set and all. Hard to remember the exact look inside now, just vaguely, but i do remember there being glass mcdonalds ashtrays on the tables, before they went with plain dark brown ones, and finally these shiny cardboard ones. People would steal them too often i guess. One thing i also cannot forget, is that there was a faux fireplace with a rifle over it. It seriously was a better time. People now, way too uptight, and nothing is there anymore to define the generations how they were. Like you see something and go, oh that's really 70s, or 80s, even 90s... beyond that no one looks and thinks wow that's so 2010s. Nothing stands out that defines it like that anymore.

[@ceasarandrepont1243]

That building was from the mid-1990s. I remember very well because I was born of November in '73. The video is probably the mid-late 1970s.

I love this channel for the simple fact that this dude is an "old soul". I admire his affinity and appreciation for things that are very "dated" by today's standards, but were completely in vogue when I was younger. His eye for design and architectural style are for things before his time, i was fortunate enough to have been born in '72, so i have very vivid memories of items he picks up on. I dig his admiration of all things nostalgic, so many objects and symbols he picks up on at his exploration sites amaze me, cuz I'll see something come into frame and I make a comment in my head and the next thing is him practically making the same statement on camera. LOL. It makes me smile to not only reminisce by seeing these videos, but hearing the enjoyment and excitement in his voice when he noticese a piece of furniture, an appliance, or a part of a building in one of the properties he's presenting. The production value of these videod are by far better quality than most other explorer videos, IMHO, that is. I look forward to ur next presentation, i always wonder what will catch ur eye next. 😀👍

I worked at Mcdonalds in 1966 and loved the old original whopper at Burger King. Back in that day we could have one free sandwich meal so us teenage hungry jacks would stack 4 or 5 meat patties on one bun because we could only have “one sandwich/burger”, good memories.

[@IndirectHydrox]

If I remember correctly, the “sunrooms” at fast food restaurants were the smoking section, presumably because cleaning the nicotine stains off the plexiglass would be fairly easy. I might be wrong though.

[@TheJillianRussell]

As a former fast food worker for 10 years (not Burger King) and a wannabe urbexer, i LOVE this! Id say that first office looking space before the managers office was a crewroom, where crew took their breaks.

[@Pavewy]

Not really that weird of a thought. Perhaps in the current age it is, seeing as people are largely stuck in their technology now, but I often visit very old places and imagine myself walking with the ghosts of the past and wondering about their lives, their happiness, their troubles. It's being self-aware.

[@8corymix8]

Not weird at all. So true. Think about it. 40 years ago, our parents, grand parents & that whole generation took us as kids to these places. After our games or school .They were running the country. Most of them have passed on & now we're doing the same thing only all these years later. Great comment. Great video. God Bless all of our loved ones that are no longer with us❤

I worked in Burger King when I was a teen in the UK and I must say I'm surprised the milkshake machine was left behind. It was an expensive piece of hardware and required a lot of upkeep. I'm surprised they left it behind.

[@DL30Creations]

You said it in your post. It was an EXPENSIVE piece of hardware that requires a lot of upkeep. It's easier to get a new one for a new restaurant than to move an old one

[@MrWolfSnack]

@@DL30Creations No it is not. New equipment costs upwards of $15-$20,000 per item. This is why used kitchen equipment is worth so much money. There's at least $5,000 of money sitting there to anyone that takes those machines out and cleans them up and repairs them. DQ Blizzard machines sell all day long on eBay for $600/pc.

[@linkes12]

Love that place. Those old fast food abandoned restaurants someday used to be full of life, and joy, specially for the young ones. Now it is hard to see the decay but still brings some good memories back😊

[@DarkExploration]

They don't even make the playgrounds anymore

[@derek-64]

Nowadays instead of marketing and focusing on families a lot of fast food joints cater towards adults and you get giant boxes with bland, dull colors, and boring designs that have no life to them. I appreciate these older restaurants because they feel warm and inviting.

[@DisabledNomads]

That last commercial was from around the mid 70's. I had the same hat and uniform when I worked for BK and customers always asked me to sing the jingle. My lyrics were "Hold the pickles, hold the onions, find a seat and rest your bunions" . Customers always got a kick out of that.

[@mikediaz2359]

That’s awesome man. Nowadays nobody is like that anymore :,( everyone at a Burger King looks miserable or on the verge of Suicide it looks like. Glad you got to see These places during brighter & more simple times :,) I’m 21 Btw

You actually had to sing the jingle if asked? How humiliating.

[@DisabledNomads]

​@@JH-qy8no No, dear, it was a lot of fun. They asked. Nicely. I didn't have to. I wanted to. I could easily have said no, but I like to sing. Back then we had microphones to call out the order over the loud speaker to the cooks in the back. I used that to sing into. Sometimes people would leave me a tip that I would keep in my shoe because we weren't allowed to accept tips. Because I changed the lyrics, everyone laughed. We (the other teenagers I worked with, some high school classmates) all had a lot of fun working there. Different times.

[@JH-qy8no]

@@DisabledNomads I see. I'm 34, that's before my time. I actually do that everyday of my life with classic rock tunes. I'm jealous of your generation because y'all got to see all the best rock bands in their heyday in concert. Today everyone listens to this weird chanting sound known as rap.

[@LOOTLESS1]

I got a kick out of this explore! The jingle at the beginning was from the late 60's early 70"s. I was asking my husband , just a couple weeks if he remember it, I sang it to him! He'd never heard it. Back when BK first came to be they used to grill your burgers over an open flame, and oh how good the air around BKs smelled, made you very hungry! The chicken products are fairly new, they didn't offer them, back in the day. In the late 70s or thereabouts they came out with chicken fingers and they were awesome, fresh chicken, fried just right! Not at all like what they call chicken today. Boy did you get me off on a tangent here, lol. Bet you never thought you'd thrill someone so, did you,? 😂 Thank you for the walk down memory lane! Sadly the Burger Kings days are numbered. We've lost almost all of them around here and the surviving ones are pretty empty of customers. Great time capsule! Thank you!

[@dianerucker3276]

Actually that commercial was used as late as the mid 70’s as I remember it (I’m 56)

[@calescapee9642]

Early 70s commercial. I remember it well.

[@cris_261]

I remember the Burger King commercials taking a not so subtle jab at McDonald's in the 80s. Things like flame broiled hamburgers, not fried, and fresh cut lettuce and tomatoes. BK (and Wendy's) gave McD a run for its money.

Take Care!

[@map3384]

I totally agree.

[@darkcougarkat]

The code written on the front of the safe is pretty industry standard when a business closes or when a safe is being taken out of service, it is meant to prevent the need to drill it out later if something was forgotten inside. Doesn't always happen but from what I'm seeing from experience that seems to be the standard across the board :)

I think it great that you younger generation are taking an interest in such things. I felt this kind of attitude towards older things was being lost and not cared about anymore.

[@madmatt2024]

It's kind of crazy that this BK ended up sitting like this. Usually the property goes up for lease/sale and another business either sets up in the old building or it's torn down and new building is put up. These are usually in high traffic areas which make the real estate very desirable for retail businesses. On an interesting side note, Somebody that I used to work for actually got the job to tear down a McDonalds of this era. The company didn't take any of their logo stuff though. The drive-thru signs, menus, trash cans, tables, chairs, napkin dispensers, high chairs, even the Ronald McDonald statue, he took them all. He even has the doors with the recessed stainless steel handles that most people remember from the 90's. He did sell some of it though, for a while there was a house with Ronald McDonald standing in the front yard.

[@wtmayhew]

I haven’t been to a Burger King since probably the late 1970s and it looked like the franchise depicted in the old TV ad at the beginning of this video. I recall you’d walk up to the order taker on the left where burger patties were placed onto a mesh conveyor belt leading into a large stainless broiler. The patties came out a few minutes later on the right where your sandwich was assembled. As long as the restaurant was busy, there would already be burgers in the conveyor so you didn’t have to wait long. There was no drive through and there was no dine-in seating. It was strictly park and walk in to get your food which you presumably took home. Some people opted to eat in their cars, but theoretically weren’t supposed to because on premise dining was taxable snd BK didn’t charge sales tax. Thsnks for the blast from the recent past - nicely documented.

I wish the original companies would do something to preserve these old buildings when they “resurface.” I can guarantee it would bring in tons of customers to restore this to its original 90s style. People like me would travel a good ways to experience this kind of nostalgia. Imagine a restaurant actually doing this!!

That would be an amazing trend to bring back the vintage designs of stores/restaurants. Being transported back to simpler times for even just a quick fast food meal would be amazing. I think it would be quite a draw for many many people.

[@Pancreaticdefect]

I worked for a pressure washing company in 2004 who's main job was cleaning the exhaust equipment in restaurant kitchens. McDonalds was one of our largest customers. We went to one once that was in a building that had to have been built in the 1970's. It still had the brown terracotta tile floors even though the rest of the building had been updated in what was most likely the 90's. The thing that was most striking about the structure was that it had a basement. Out of the dozens of locations we cleaned it was the only one I ever saw with a basement.

[@zeppedled]

I worked at a McDonalds as a kid in Wisconsin, and it sounds just like what you describe, down to even the basement, it was so odd having the basement, as I actually worked for a few of the locations in the area (same owner) and no other location had that setup and basement.

[@mikemanofleisure]

Something you can do to try and identify the age of a building is check the fuse boxes. They might have a tag or inspection sign off from when the electrical was completed. Also, the style of breakers can sometimes help date a building especially older ones from the 80s on back

Yes, they all are going with the drab look with no individuality. I can't imagine what idiots are in charge of the institutional bleak look that is common now.

“Would I have to wait long if you made one whopper with no pickle and no lettuce? No sir”. The answer today would be exactly the same simply, because they throw your shit in a bag and only pretend that they made your special order.

[@ThinkingForward-we1ql]

"Women's room, Men's room, not that it matters anymore" LMAO! That had me cracking up! Awesome video dude, I miss being back home near Cleveland, so many abandoned places to explore there back in the 90's when I was a kid

[@serenatwilite4005]

That reminds me of a line that was in the old show "All in the Family" where Archie Bunker sings "Those Were the Days" at the beginning of the show - " . . . and you knew who you were then, girls were girls and men were men . . ."., I want those days back.

[@ThinkingForward-we1ql]

@@serenatwilite4005 gee our old LaSalle ran great!... lol

[@kirkangel525]

looks like the old BK on Fort McClellan in Alabama

[@dvdvideo10]

"About 15 years ago in 2010" That ain't 15 years... oh wait... damn, I'm old.

[@spamanator666]

The BK in the little town I grew up in was still rocking the 1984 BK look up until about five years ago. I guess the smaller stores kinda get put on hold for updating.

[@karensharpe9949]

I love this video! it does bring back a lot of good times! Love the teal color too! Thanks, I would love to see more of this type of video!

[@jayo2009]

I would like to see you do more of these types of explorations, just resturaunts in general

[@MattJ155]

Some of my favourite videos of yours are the 90s nostalgia explorations - like this one and the mall videos. They really take me back to my childhood.

[@donaldgregg9250]

Funny thing is...the French fries out in the back kitchen are still edible...huh.....

[@invictus0x0]

There was a burger king in my town that was still operational until covid, that still had this exact styling including the teal interior, which it received in 1992, it even still had the play place outside.

[@youtubeOholic]

The best channel on KZbin. Its like a natural therapy seeing your videos❤❤

[@tristanwoodmansee477]

Omg! So cool! That commercial definitely brought it back for me. And that father in the commercial looked so familiar to me.

[@NaomisAdventures]

Cool old Burger King

[@kikibean2024]

You make every explore interesting because you love what you do and always tell an interesting story. Thanks for documenting these old places before they are gone.

[@DarkExploration]

I appreciate you and your words. Thank you

[@timmooney7528]

Reminds me of an abandoned BK located south of Niles, Michigan. It closed it's door 15-20 years ago. It also has a sun room and the furniture is still in place.

[@ChaseDen]

My local Dairy Queen used to have a sunroom like in this Burger King, it was renovated in 2018 though and now it has the standard boring design of modern fast food places.

[@williamsiyanko4631]

This Abandoned Burger King will never be forgotten and its memories. 😢😢😢😢

[@HangTimeDeluxe]

I know exactly where that Burger King is. I dined there back in 1988 while going through basic and AIT.. We liked to refer to it as the "BK Lounge." I was briefly there in the early 90s and it was still open then.

[@tyronejackson6593]

So, where is it?

[@tbob8212]

Looks a lot like Fort McClellan to me 😅 I was a US Marine and went to MP School there during the autumn of 1994. I remember seeing all you Soldiers going through basic training and AIT 😂 Yes that BK was welcomed payday relief from the chowhall grub 😂 Across the street was the base AAFES BX or as us Marines called it the PX 😊

[@isaiahmarker407]

Were these fort Burger King's open to the public as well or just open to the military who were at the forts?

[@wapartist]

Great deep motion shots as always. That angled wood upper trim and rooflines are super early 80’s for the building. My guess is original building got a few revamps on interior them whatever happened in that area happened

[@dlarson1965]

Please do more retro exploration

[@jakerazmataz852]

I can hear those chairs scraping on the floor.

[@paracosm1c]

Burger King does actually still give out crowns if asked for. I specifically remember getting a promotional crown for the Across the Spiderverse movie when it was just coming to theaters, so hope isn’t lost there. Great video, nonetheless. It’s very sad to think of a place that must have had so many customers over the years get shut down and abandoned like this.

[@KevinRichards-rk3gp]

Speakin of those Burger King crowns, I saw a video where this dude on an airplane flight was wearing one. He looked about 50 years old & caused a big scene on the plane by getting pissed off at a black female passenger over something. He called her the N word numerous times & shouted using profanity & acting like a total psycho when there were children on the plane too. He got kicked off the plane.

[@rescuegirl]

Hello from Vermont!

[@ghostchaser1631]

It's kind of sad to see a piece of our childhood nostalgia being left to rot and disintegrate like this, but also pretty cool to get a glimps of those days again. It's also a little creepy, between the pentagram on the floor and huge red "LEAVE MY HOME" on the wall in the restaurant, I was half expecting someone to jump out at you when you entered the kitchen. Glad it didn't happen. Lol!

[@ThatGirlOnYourTV]

Absolutely love this. Your videos are so well done. It's so sad when things that brought us so much joy, slowly disappear. They could repurpose so many abandoned places.

[@Stevo_Drums]

Just found your channel. I appreciate your gentle vibe and the respectful way you highlight the nostalgia of abandoned places like this one. It’s sad, in a way, that a once viable business can just disintegrate to remnants like you showed here. Good explore. Keep it up! ❤

[@shigetsan]

Can’t believe tweakers have not taken the copper out of the walls yet

[@tbob8212]

My thoughts exactly while scrolling through the comments. All of the meth heads commenting about all of the scrap metal that's available 😂

[@bobbyboucher7854]

There’s a local Burger King where I live at and I remember going there when I was very young. It has the same layout structure from the one in your video and it’s crazy to think that it might’ve been there since the 80s and still stands today. Nothing has really changed inside of it really. Obviously just the interior colors but everything else speaks early 90s.

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

Anyone remember the oak trees growing outta the roof of them...? At least in Sarasota, Florida, and I think the rest of Florida... I think they were gone by the nineties, but I clearly remember the trees in the dining rooms... Thanks for sharing. Keep up your awesomeness....

[@Bemfactor98]

That one is exactly the floor design of the one closest to me that I grew up with. Still open now, but originally had a massive fish tank for at least 20 years that ran along the mid restaurant rail seat feature which actually made a huge "L" shaped feature in the middle of the dining room. Greenhouse seating area still exists!

[@DaveGatton]

Yeah, just ignore the "No Trespassing" signs that are clearly posted so you can make your KZbin content. 😕

[@IsolatedWolf1]

Don't be a liberal 🤡

[@sirwence9949]

Man these were the good times.. Thanks for the nostalgia hit, great video.

[@juhakivimaki94]

these kinds of videos feel so weird to me.we dont really have any abandoned buildings here in finnland.everything gets either demolished or are still being looked after even when they are ampy.only some small houses or cabin might be truly abandoned here

[@stevenklingler9376]

One of the best urban explorers I've seen! Thanks

[@dimitriberozny3729]

This is 90’s style. This location possibly tanked around 2007 during the Great Recession. This was possibly a Janco owned and operated location because Janco was having financial difficulties since the mid 2000’s.

[@danielpadgett2831]

This is gonna be a good one

[@heroknaderi]

Definitely nostalgic. I enjoyed it so much I enjoys the tour. Miss the old 90s style. Still sad that one closed down. Just imagine it being 2 minutes walk from home. Just to grab a whopper

[@8807lacey]

Why do I always feel like homeless people are in every single one of these abandoned buildings? 😩 I understand homes and hotels and stuff, but relatively remote Burger King, would still terrify me 😅

[@crashbandicoot5091]

Especially because of the graffiti “LEAVE MY HOME” I would not have been in there long 😂
