A KFC spokesperson said: “Fried chicken fans of Edinburgh, dinnae worry! The time was right for us to fly our coop on South Charlotte Street, but we’ve not gone far.
“We’re just at our shiny new Fountain Park restaurant, bringing our cracking South Charlotte Street team with us and creating 50 new jobs for the local community.”
Images of the old location show the shop in darkness, with the outside signage removed and the self-serve kiosks displaying a notice that reads: “This kiosk is currently closed.”
A notice on the front door of the restaurant simply reads: “Closed.”
