LAPD Food Stockport

Emily recently had a brilliant takeaway tea ordered from LAPD Food Stockport - they deliver your order in an American police car!

What a brilliant thing to see driving around Cheadle Hulme.

Among the various fried chicken shops we've seen other US states represented at Arizona Fried Chicken, Dallas Fried Chicken, West Virginia Fried Chicken, Kansas Fried Chicken, Oregon Fried Chicken and Alaska Fried Chicken.

We've also seen a Toronto Fried Chicken shop in Rochdale and quite a few 'KFCs'.

What's the most obscure US State or North American place you've seen used in a chicken shop name?

Various Fried Chicken

A look at some fried chicken shops in Rochdale.


Emily's snap of Oregon Fried Chicken in Rochdale reminded me of a few other chicken shops we've snapped in the town in the last few years.

Oregon Fried Chicken was called 5 Star Fried Chicken before.

There's an Arizona Fried Chicken next to Wet Rake Gardens just outside the town centre.

The former Dallas Fried Chicken (next door to West Virginia Fried Chicken) in the town centre is now Toronto Fried Chicken.

From Blockbuster Video to Taco Bell

I've been taking a look into the world of Blockbuster Video during lockdown. We live near to an old store that still has visible signage and branding and it's always fun to pass by and see a glimpse of the past.

I've also found that back when we were freely able to travel around the country we had unknowingly 'visited' some former stores, most notably in Felixstowe, Suffolk. There, the old sign with its distinctive torn ticket outline had been used for a new business.

Tracking down old Blockbuster Video stores I've noted that there were two in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The one in Wombwell is now a charity shop and the old QuikDrop box is still in place. The other on Peel Street in the town centre is now a Taco Bell. We passed by it back in January 2019.

Taco Bell on Peel Street in Barnsley
Not a Blockbuster

I always keep an eye out for Taco Bells on my travels. I think it's got something to do with the year 2032.

Sadly the old torn ticket sign from its days as a Blockbuster is long gone.

The Barnsley store closed along with the other last stores in December 2013. There had been 528 Blockbuster Video stores in the UK at the beginning of that year.

In addition to the Blockbuster Video locations in Fallowfield and Felixstowe we've visited the Blockbuster Video Express in Colne, Lancashire. Other former stores we've been to include the former stores in PrescotChester, Cheadle Hulme and Marple.

The Goodfather in Salford

We spotted another Godfather takeaway while out for a walk in Salford yesterday.


This one was missing a letter on its sign.

But had gained two letters to become Goodfather Pizza

Fuddruckers

Fuddruckers is soon to be no more.


It was announced this week that the brand is to be liquidated. Fuddruckers was founded in Texas in 1979. As of last year there were 156 Fuddruckers.

I've never eaten at one but did see a branch at The Orleans Casino in Las Vegas back in 2011.
