I'm Heartbroken!

[jonathan]

I went to my local hardees today. I noticed that they were doing something too the roof. I walked in and found out that they had gutted the place. There is no more wood paneling or ceiling fans . There aren't even new fans. It has black ceiling tiles and red walls. I looked in the dumpster and found 0 light fixtures . I am going to look at the habitat soon. I hope they show up. They are childhood fans. I shouldn't have let them slip away like that.

The fans that are gone:


I won't give up until i find these!

Did you ask the management/workers if they threw out the fans? Let's hope that the fans were donated to Habitat...

I got a before and after picture. It doesn't have much to do with the fans, but i thought you might like to see it.

I am happy with the remodels. I just want the old fans .

The Hardee's in Fort Smith had red Litex fans but they were also taken down during the remodelling.

Yeah, it could be that no one can find a fan that matches the restaurants' decor anymore. The local restaurants in my area that still have fans are:

*McDonald's (Bronze Hunter Greenwiches- the new Home Depot models)
*Red Robin (Copper Modern Fan/Period Arts Fan Co's Industries, they're pretty decent with K55's)
*A pizza place (A single PB SMC DC52, may not last long as a blade and blade arm both flew off, as the blade arm is still attached to the motor but the actual bracket and blade are both gone)
*An Italian restaurant (White HB Farmingtons)
*Famous Dave's (Some Black 52" 4B/5B Classic Originals in the bar left over from when it used to be Uno's, and some Black outdoor fans on the patio they installed)
*Ruby Tuesday's (A single Gloss Black Emerson Designer from the mid 90s with a PB light kit from the old PB Designer's when they got taken down in a remodel)
*Friendly's (2 Red Craftmade Decoratives)

That's about it.

If they can't find fans that match the decor in this day and age they aren't looking around enough lol, there's more options than ever before, not that they're all good.

I think it's more of the health and safety kind of thing. Let's face it, fans are really just dust magnets in a restaurant because nobody bothers to clean them, and can be "dangerous" to customers in numerous ways, most due to their own stupidity. I think fans have just lost functionality in the restaurant business, at least in fast food where they used to be common anyways. Subway and Jimmy Johns sub shops are really the only fast food places I can think of that put fans in new locations...
