A multi-state franchise owner is looking to remodel one of its many Taco Bell and KFC locations in Charlotte at 2834 Boyer St.
Fulenwider Enterprises, Inc. recently applied for a land development construction plan to replace the building and curb, according to permit details. The application is still in progress, and The Isaacs Group is the civil engineer for the project. There is no exact timeline for this remodel, but considering the franchise group wants to replace the building, it could be a few months once permits are approved. KFC is currently closed at this location, but Taco Bell remains open.
Fulenwider Enterprises is a third-generation family-owned franchise group with more than 144 restaurants in multiple states. Fulenwider Enterprises operates over 150 restaurants in at least six states and employs over 3,600 people. In addition to Yum! Brand Franchises, Fulenwider Enterprises operates Butch’s BBQ and Breakfast, which offers catering services in addition to quick service dining, as well as Colonel’s Pantry.
“It all started with family patriarch and company founder, Verbon Fulenwider, who was an early franchisee of KFC,” according to the Fulenwider Enterprises website. “He worked this first restaurant with his family– running the register while his wife Helen Fulenwider and son Russ Fulenwider, packed meals and son Mike Fulenwider, fried the chicken. As Verbon reached retirement, his son Mike took over the business. Mike served as the company CEO until he passed in March of 2020. He had brought his children, Michael Fulenwider, who now serves as President/CEO of the business, and Virginia Fulenwider, who leads marketing efforts.”
