An adage states, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” It seemed so, as the Morrison, IL, Hardee’s Restaurant locked its doors for the final time on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. On Friday, October 20, the highway signs had been removed and lay on the driveway, at 200 N. Base Street and W. Lincolnway.
Hardee’s is an American restaurant chain, which predominately operates in the South and Midwest states. The Wisconsin owner will sell or lease the property; he was reported as owning 121. On a positive note, Mayor Everett Pannier said, “We have an opportunity to remarket the property,”
On Friday morning, October 20, two Acme professional deconstructors were hoisting the large restaurant sign onto a flatbed trailer.
