You won't need to drive as far to get your bucket of the Colonel's Special Recipe.
The Northfield KFC will reopen in the near future, according to a classified on the Northfield News.
"KFC IS BACK! Taking Applications Nov 1st 11a-2p & 5p-7p 2300 Gleason Ct - Nfld," the classified reads.
Brad Smith of Elko is purchasing the building from current owner Gary Tiedeken, according to the Northfield News.
KFC closed in January.
Tiedeken told Patch that sales hadn't been what they needed to be, forcing him and his wife, Kim, to close the Northfield location. They also own the Faribault KFC.
The Northfield KFC opened in February 2010. Tiedeken said the business once had 40 employees, but the week the restaurant closed, there were about 15, as he let people go throughout the previous year because of poor sales.
An opening date hasn't been determined, Smith told the newspaper.

I prefer Quarterback's chicken, but on the rare occasion I'll get KFC.

I hope they do re-open but hope the service is better. They never once got our drive through orders right. The inside of the restaurant was filthy any time I was there. Tried the buffet once, there were a lot of empty spots, food wasnt stirred so looked gross, the people working there never wore gloves or anything, they picked up food with their hands. I am suprised they didnt get closed down by health inspectors.
