RULES

1) Scope of this subreddit: When submitting content, please make sure it is one of the following:

  • A chain-built store that was converted to another use, yet it is still obvious what the building used to be. (Example)

  • A building that was built for a specific, obvious purpose that is now used for a new, unintended purpose. (Example)

  • A store whose building or signage purposely imitates a chain, yet is unrelated to that chain. (Example)

2) All submissions must link to a still image hosted by an image hosting website (e.g. Reddit, Imgur, Flickr, etc.) Google Street View links are allowed in the comments section only.

  • If you post a screenshot of a building from Google Street View, please include a link in the comments to the location of the building on Street View. Not only does this provide a source for your screenshot, but it gives other users who are interested the opportunity to look at the building in greater detail.

3) Non-architectural examples should be submitted to /r/UsedToBeA.

4) No gore or pornography. If something is NSFW, please mark it as such.

5) No image macros/memes.

6) Be polite!

Domino’s Pizza trying to be sneaky in Valencia, Spain.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xohyEwFHK86aqzFq8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

As part of a big buyout earlier in the 2010’s Pizza Hut received all locations of Pizza Hut. Guess it was too pricey to demolish the iconic Pizza Hut hut

This former Denny’s …rocks!

No question this was formerly a classic ‘60s-era Denny’s (in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, WA). Now it’s “Stone World.” “Ma’am, my French fries have been sitting too long, they’re hard as a rock…”
