Those signs are far from cheap but I'm more amazed that corporate hasn't insisted on an immediate signage change.

My guess: they flipped upside down so the back part , unpainted, is front. And it worked perfectly , until night came and the lights turned on. They had a bruh moment that night for sure.

I'm pretty sure those are pan faced signs and they are crazy expensive. (7-10x the cost of a flat face) I'm guessing they are waiting for the new sign to be installed without the KFC side. They very well could be waiting on the building department to approve the new sign. Some are PAINFULLY slow.

edit.... been in the sign business for 20 some odd years.

I knew a guy that was a Honda motorcycle distributor. He had a falling out with them so he could no longer display his huge 30 foot Honda sign, so he swapped two letters and became a "Hando" dealer.

Jesus Fried Chicken and Kentucky Fucking Christ.

Or Jesus Fried Christ and Kentucky Fucking Chicken.

Or possibly Jesus Fucking Chicken and Kentucky Fried Christ.

Hard to say.

According to U.S. Code, this means that The Colonel is in distress

It’s a distress signal, the KFC employees need help making twisters.

Sign maintenence companies will flip your sign if you don't pay your bill. It's kind of a public shaming thing, plus who are you going to get to come and fix it so it doesn't look embarrassing? Them, as soon as you pay your bill.

That’s pretty common for places that are no longer in business.

Yum! never really was much for brand image.

I've been apart of Pizza Huts marketing and it's pretty well a joke.. just kinda feels like their doing stuff just to say they did stuff so they don't get fired.. the stuff never really hits public eye and it wasn't done well to begin with

Hmm having some knowledge of that sign to flip it would cost more than just removing it. Something tells me this upside sign has other significance.
