The KFC Crystal Bucket restaurant in Painted Post, New York is a standout new location that boasts floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a design that pays tribute to the nearby Corning town as a glass manufacturer. The circular design of the building and its materials allow for plenty of natural light to seep into the space and it's a destination that seats 40.
This standout restaurant is part of KFC's Next Generation design concepts, which include bowtie chairs, Quick Pick-Up shelves, and dedicated signage and parking for online orders. The site was previously a former bank and as such, it tells the story of the past with a vault door that contains the brand's secret 11 herbs and spices.
The memorable KFC restaurant captures the spirit of the brand and promises to draw fans of food and architecture alike.
