Does anyone know what happened to "Burger King" in Bethel Park on Route 19 near South Hills Village. It was opened for business on Friday Morning and then 8 hrs later the signs were down it was like Burger King never existed it was strange.

That's weird, but it's no more different than seeing a store in the mall open one day and closed the next, everything still inside but never to open again.

Wow, that Burger King is gone?

When I lived in Bethel Park, I always went to the one on 88 near Pasta Too since it was more convenient. I guess too many other people did too.

What's the deal with Bethel Park and restaurants closing down anyway? I hear there was a Taco Bell and a Red Lobster there at one time, and the building the Gamestop near the Pep Boys is in was clearly a Long John Silvers once before. I'm surprised restaurants like these can't survive there.

I don't know about the Bethel Park location, but they tore one down inn Harmarville and built a brand new one in it's place. Burger Kings seem to be not as prominent as they once were. In fact, Wendy's over took them a few years ago as #2 in the burger share. There is longer on Downtown or in Oakland either.

I use to hit that location when I would be in the area. It was always clean and one of the nicer ones, but a pain in the butt to get in and out of the parking lot (confusing) for those who are not familiar with the roads. They needed to be in a easier access area.

Pittsburgh has been a tough market for Burger King. Domino's Pizza, same thing. Burger King was gone in Harmarville for a few years so maybe they lost the franchise owner and kept the property until someone else came along? Somehow Hardee's has remained in Millvale since the 1960s.

wonder why...

I don't personally get the attraction to BK or McD's either for that matter...Wendys is just much much better - (as far as fastfood burger joints go anyways)!

Burger King doesn't seem to do well in Pittsburgh. The egg and cheese croissant is the only thing I like on the Burger King menu.

That's because it's the only game in town. Plus, it gets a lot of pedestrian business from area residents who don't drive.

Wendy's does well at the Waterworks because it's the only fast burger joint with a drive through window in that area.
