Corky's Chicken
SET 3 – Oxford Kroger, Post-Expansion
Also present here in the grand aisle is a separate service counter painted in black and branded solely as “Chicken.” That chicken sign looks pretty cheap, and the black paint looks rather temporary and tacky (even though it’s permanent) – the reasoning behind all this is because this isn’t what was originally planned for this space. Instead, the Oxford Kroger was supposed to get an in-store Corky’s BBQ, similar to the Germantown location – but following COVID, that Germantown one eventually closed, and the Oxford one never materialized at all. The only reminders we have of it (besides this awkward area, of course) are the old press releases and this exterior rendering showing the Corky's logo. Come to think of it, I wonder if that’s part of why this store was designed with such a large café seating area.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
