One reason you don't see unique designs for fast food restaurants is simply the potential resell value. Distinct buildings are hard to convert.
Once a Pizza Hut, always a Pizza Hut.

it took 4 pages but someone finally mentioned the practical reason besides blaming lack of creativity or government regulations.
corporations have learned that it's much harder to get out from under a building if it's gonna be a pain in the arse for someone else to move into it.
KFC closed all these buildings in 2023 in SWLA
quote:
KFC 2412 Ryan Street, Lake Charles
KFC 1400 N. Martin Luther King Highway, Lake Charles
KFC 1498 Elton Road, Jennings
KFC 812 Pine Street, DeRidder
KFC 2203 N. Parkerson Avenue, Crowley
KFC 1840 W. Laurel Avenue, Eunice
imagine how hard it wouldve been to sell them or convert them if they were shaped like a huge bucket of chicken instead of a generic box

Well, I'll shite on you a bit. you can totally build a Dominos in a building that is a part of a medieval tower, hundreds of years old (I think that was in Cashel, IE.)
Nobody in this thread, I think, was talking about converting existing structures. New construction. I've had the fortunate? experience of working around architects, and you know when to stand back and wait for them to make inane statements (there are no cut bricks!)
It's not my bag, but I sometimes know when to keep my mouth shut and watch people that know what they're doing, and let them do it.
