Hidden Burger King Restaurant Found Behind a Wall
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2022
- This Burger King restaurant is frozen in time. It's filled with retro wall decor, wooden booths and old soda machines. The restaurant first opened in 1987 at the concord mall in Wilmington, Delaware. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed 13 years ago and was sealed off behind a wall. The rest of the mall was renovated around it until a curious contractor opened the locked door. Now the mall's owners are hoping someone will step in and breathe new life into this vintage fast-food restaurant.
Whoever said this is “terrifying” needs to get out more. There’s nothing creepy or terrifying about it. It’s freaking awesome!
It's a literal piece of history. Awesome stuff here
To be fair it does look a little terrifying but I do have to admit it does look awesome as well
Lol agreed 👍
I came here to say this too 😅 Terrifying? Seriously 🤦🏻♂️
Right!!! Nothing terrifying about it, as an 80's child i love seeing that, so cool
Frozen in time.. That's pretty cool!
Hope they will keep it as it is, play the vintage music and stuff.. Just to travel back to the 80s! :)
...Just a little example of "hidden" history but not forgotten!👀
Playing vintage 80's music is an awesome idea! 😊
that would be so dope! maybe even vaporwave haha
imagine that after reopening, most of the customers were in their 50s and up!
Omg that would be so cool!!!
Speaking as a filmmaker, this spot is a dream come true. The entire set is basically already built.
Go ask the mall if you can film there man!
Maybe a project on a short film that takes place in the 80s or something
Yes let's keep it for a useless 10 second clip

@@cleanculture8286 in spite of you someone should make a whole award winning show almost entirely based in that burgerking
I'm 50 years old, definitely brings me back to my teenage years! I'm hoping whoever redevelops the space keeps the 80s vibe going!! It was a great and fun time to be a teenager ☺️❤️
Pretty much the most exciting thing to happen to Delaware.
That's kind of sad when you consider that our current President is from Delaware.
Yes
Bethany Beach is pretty cool too, give credit where credit is due lol
I thought it was still 1987 in Wilmington Delaware
@@jeffw1267 😂😂😂😂
It would be cool to see a Burger King franchisee give this location another shot and reopen this place keeping the old school look inside and with the original B.K. logo signage it once had. I believe people would go there once again, especially for the nostalgia of it.
No one goes to malls anymore. It would not make financial sense to reopen it. The nostalgia aspect wouldn't last very long.
And play 80s music, and have the employees wear retro uniforms, leg warmers, and shutter shades.
It would do well as a Pop-up thing but the excitement would go away after sometime when they realize it's Burger King.
I agree
*Braums has entered the chat*
I want to know why this girl stated that this old restaurant is terrifying. Just... Simply ... Flip on the light switch. And you've literally stepped back 30 years. That is so great that something like that is perfectly preserved
It was terrifying because you don't expect to see a perfectly preserved 80's restuarant hidden behind a featureless wall. The place is very well preserved almost as if people were just eating there five minutes ago, except there's nobody there except you inside this fossil of the past. How could you not be creeped out, walking into a place like that which has just been sitting under there under your nose and nobody has talked about it?
@@michaelheliotis5279 That's just your perspective. For me it's awesome and the great majority of people just find it cool and interesting. Like seeing an old timie car or something, it's a spectacle.
In the words of my lecturer of interpersonal communication, "Words have no meaning, except the meaning you assigned to them."
The common consensus is that the word, terrifying, conjures an image of a shocking reaction to the presence of a thing, event or person that elicits a negative perception.
Most of us disagree with the word, "terrifying", because there is nothing sinister about a place that is only accessible at a particular time, and at a particular place. It is only terrifying when someone decides to bulldoze this interior design artifact and nobody has built a time machine yet to go back to a time where people find.
@@michaelheliotis5279 I imagine mice scare you
Because people with "Tik Tok" sensibilities have to make everything incredibly dramatic.
Places like these need to be preserved!!!!!! There’s an old retro Sonic in intracoastal City, Louisiana!!!!!! Hasn’t been renovated since the 60’s!!!!!
Keep it nostalgic with an 80s feeling. That would make people of all ages show up in droves and get an awesome experience 👏
Not really. The 80s should stay where it belongs. In the past🤣
@@cisco537 Why?
Agree 👍.
@@cisco537 if they do bring it back just don’t eat there then🤷🏽♂️ simple😊
@@cisco537 🤓
Only 13 years ago? The real crazy part of this story is that even as late as 2009 there was still a Burger King in operation that looked this way and hadn't been renovated since the 1980's.
That's what I was thinking lol. They made it sound like it was strictly 30 years ago.
Same😆
@@kayjay8790 Okayyyy🙌🏾😂🤣
Its possible, it might have been done to save money by not renovating it.
Do you know what Burger King besides this one that looked the same im curious to know
I was born in 04 but this is so fascinating, I do hope they preserve and reopen it, I’d definitely make the trip up there to see it
Making a trip to go see a Burger King? Weird but okay
Boy you ain't making trips anywhere, yo ass still in school
@@cleanculture8286 mommy and daddy can drive though
@@cleanculture8286 maybe didn’t go to college
Omg I was born in 97 and that comment made me feel so old. Lol
And I’m only 25 lol
Was feeling proud of myself for not seeing how old/nostalgic this looks, because I haven't set foot inside a Burger King since the 90's and have no basis for comparison. Then I remembered I totally have gone to Burger King several times since then. I just hit up the drive-thru.
Local here, I can tell you that management probably did not forget it was there. The concord mall as a whole has been suffering for years. Trying to get any business to take up residence there when the nearby Christiana Mall has been expanding immensely has probably been a challenge for them. So they just left it
This could then bring tourists in
It definitely sucks seeing malls slowing die off:( I live in Texas and we had our san jac mall close a few months ago thy were gonna do a outlet mall but covid stopped it from happening:( also just hearing how much it cost to rent out a space at the mall is crazy
Yeah the story made no sense. How do you not rent out a space for so many years and pretend like you didn't even know about it?
Yea I was wondering how a mall just forgets they have rental space available
@@reinettbernardo2779 You really think an old style decommissioned Burger King is going to bring enough tourists to save a dying mall?
imagine how cool it would be if they reopened it and kept everything the same... so nostalgic for some people
Yeah and even charged the 1987 prices of the items
And bring back the original chicken tenders .
@@dajewel1982 that wouldn’t work out lol cause of inflation but i wish
your definition of "cool" is lacking
Actually if the franchise would put the same uniforms in there I do believe the nostalgia effect would work and will probably be a hit locally maybe be a tourist attraction.
But they're definitely have to have good food and good service.
If I were burger king I'd keep it the exact same and re-open. You already have a unique opportunity and how cool would it be to see a retrofit of modern commodity to a classic era restaurant we all grew up with.
I wonder if they still own the space though, it doesn't sound like they do. They'd have to buy it back. It could be worth it though
@@rorz999 yeah I'm sure they dont own it considering its been closed off but yeah it would be a really good investment at this point probably.
One of my dads friend owns a condo on the beach since the 70s and he moved away around 86. He still visit like maybe once a year but he always let me stay there if we ask. And it’s like a beach condo with all “new” 80s stuff, the tv the carpet the fridge and stove, a bunch of cool radio shack gadgets a water bed. It truly is amazing every time I walk in there to see how perfect and clean everything still is.
Both creepy and beautiful. Anything 'frozen in time' is almost always fascinating. Nostalgia really does drive us.
Nothing creepy about it. She put that in your head subconsciously
it was open 13 years ago. Thats not really old.
@@HoldMeBack exactly its literally just a restaurant .. turn the lights on and stop quaking lmao

@@Emma-dh1lx joe! Is that you?
There's no way it was forgotten. Developers account for EVERY square foot especially in a mall.
You should see that video of a guy who got away with living inside a hidden space in a mall for a couple years
@@Xadov yeah I was about to mention that. It took a while before someone become curious and investigated that crawlspace.
No. I’ve worked with a mall manager. They do know every space with their mall map showing every single space with width, length and square foot, but that does not mean the manager knows what every single space looks like in person. I’ve gone to a space they showed me and they accidentally showed me a space that was ALREADY A STORE. So yeah some don’t know until they check and they only look at some of their spaces maybe two times a month but not all of them and also one other space they showed me was not even done like it had ladders and missing pieces from ceiling and wires hanging and he said sorry it’s not done
@@Xadov Yeah exactly. That happens all the time. More than you think because I’ve personally found multiple secret locations in three different malls before and a homeless person could live there for years without being noticed because the mall security does not check everything not even close
@@genericwhitefemale8934 It takes at least months because the managers themselves don’t even want to know what’s inside the back🤣🤣🤣

Born in ‘87 and I grew up going to this mall and eating at this BK. Memories… Interesting how they hid that restaurant behind there. Hopefully something will replace it or maybe they will reopen it.😊
Nothing creepy or terrifying about it. Hopefully they use that space as a vintage BK, the same way McDonald’s has a few locations with their old classic looks, but sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they demolish it and turn it into something lame like another common store found every where else
Yeah I expect it to be remade into some normal ass store
How could something that big, as in a whole freaking restaurant, be forgotten and go unnoticed? Something just doesnt add up here.

The McDonald's at our mall looked like this for a long time, probably till I was about 15 or 16 (so 2007ish). I was so bummed when they tore it down. I love this aesthetic. So ugly yet charming.

Yup I recall when Burger King's looked like that inside more or less...even 13 years ago I'd think most had been remodeled so it was something of a relic even then...it should be preserved
They should make every restaurant like this again. People will flock on more, because of the nostalgia and memories. I’d dine in more often
Management "forgetting" about this is like a parent sealing off a bedroom in their home when a kid moves out and "forgetting" it's there. Nobody in charge forgot a thing. LOL
Is it just me or that spells "poor management"?

@@simonlam33 Probably using the "dead space" as a tax write off.

Probably new management. Things can change in 13 years. Don’t presume to think what they thought. Papers can get lost because they didn’t have smartphones back then.
The restaurant that is still intact after years their nostalgia comes back. I would say a waste of some space left untouched
@@ArchAngel900 could say the same thing about your original comment. About had an aneurysm just trying to read it, properly.

@@SpaceGhost-s7x because before fastfood restaurants started looking like depressed adult meeting areas they used to look fun and colorful until late 2010s
I remember some malls and shopping centers in the SE Pennsylvania, South Jersey, and Northern Delaware were slow in 2008-2009 because of the financial crisis. Some of them recovered in 2010, but started to dwindle again years later because of online shopping options. It maybe 15 years since I last stop at Concord Mall. It is not a convenient place to shop unless you live nearby or if you regularly travel on US 202 near the PA/DE border. While I would expect Concord Mall to dwindle over the last 13 years, it is negligent for mall management to not know that a significant retail space was walled off, unoccupied, and never repurposed over the same period.
This should be preserved if it reopens. It’ll be cool stepping back in time to a 1980s Burger King.
Congrats to the maintenance of the mall, no visible mold, no spider webs, nothing stolen 👏👏👏
you sir, just revealed the possibility that the space was cleaned up before the media was allowed to record. (thank you sir, you reminded me of "behind the scenes.")
Instead of creepy I’d say “exciting”. It isn’t a creepy place, but it is unusual to find something that was frozen in time. It’s a real glance into the past. And to think that the last time it was opened and used was the 80s, and then nobody else stepped inside until you… it’s exciting to think about!
Ot was closed 13 years ago.... 2009 was the last time it was open.
so well preserved especially, even in Mexico the Burger Kings looked the same, I felt the same
@@collegeboykeith Is that so? Even so, it’s still impressive. It’s a relic of another time :)

As a fan collector, seeing the old fans still installed makes me SO happy. Almost all places have removed the fans for other things now.
Your name and profile picture says it all 😃
How did you figure out you wanted to be a fan collector?
@@angelgram I just always liked fans. Ever since I was a kid. When I was like 5 I would walk up to people at the fan section at stores and ask if they needed help. Eventually we moved to a bigger space and then my collection took off. I just celebrated 100 fans in my collection last week.
a WHAT collector?
you sir, seem like a very interesting person
@@FANtasticFans82 That's so cool!! What an interesting collection to have!!😊💕
I remember the ambiance was really joyful, every family sitting on the tables, nobody on their phone so all you could hear was everybody talking to each other which was kind of a comforting feeling, and the food, everything was bigger portions and more tasty for a cheaper price (even while taking into consideration inflatation it was still cheaper) and they also gave out awesome toys with the kids meals. Burger king used to be awesome.
EVERYTHING used to be more awesome. I totally agree with you about portions and quality. McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Hardees, etc. I remember when T.V. DINNERS (!!!) used to be awesome.
‘Merica!!!!!!!!
Exactly… and the burgers actually tasted flamed-broiled instead of microwaved cardboard like they do now! The quality of food was so much better back then!
That’s what’s upsetting me the most is businesses aren’t just adjusting for inflation they just wanna charge more
@@obeseperson charge more, but use lesser quality ingredients, that makes no sense!!
It’s incredible just how clean it is after all these years
This could be used by TV and film directors as a ready-made set for a program or film with a late 1980s setting. Since it's just sitting there, this would be extra cash for the mall owners.
I worked at Burger King in the late 1980’s, then returned for much of the 1990’s as a manager. I’ve seen other videos exploring “lost” BK’s but the flaps on the trash cans with the writing… that took me back! I’m pretty sure they read something like, “please place your trash inside the receptacle and place the tray on top. Thank you.” That’s all from memory so it’s obviously going to be slightly different.
That's so cool. The trash can in this video says "Toss it in. Drop it in. Slide it in. Get the Tray. Just get your trash in here some way."
OMG you’re right, I can just barely see it at 1:17. Thanks@@misspea213 😎
Malls do this all the time as weird as it sounds,they just cover some stores with fake walls. I always found it super strange.🤷🏻♀️
Probably saves them time and money. They probably weren't able to get a business to use the space, either. They may have gotten lazy and decided to leave it as is. But it does look well maintained.
You’re missing the point of the video
@@Mu5icPr0ducer how?
I have heard stories of people living in the bowels of malls for years without anyone knowing about it. I saw a news report about a couple people who set up a "home" behind a wall deep inside of a mall and they furnished the space with furniture they found from an area behind behind the walls of the mall that was being used as a stock room for a furniture store that was in the mall.
Love it! I wish that more time capsules existed! I love time capsules!
Wow! This is bigger than discovering King Tut’s tomb! I hope they announce when public tours will be available!
We had a Burger King like that in my town until about 10 years ago. I was born in 2001, so far away from the 80s, but we went to the old Burger King often. It is nice to see that. I really hope that whomever buys it, keeps it looking like that for the vintage vibes of it
Me too I was born in 2001
I agree even restraints I've been too had 80s and 90s style decor is amazing
I was born in 02 and our local McDonald’s stayed the vintage way til around 2013
I'm probably one of the very few people that thinks that the old Burger Kings and McDonald's in the 80s and 90s were ugly looking
@@jeffpro8 -so was the 'big hair' style of the 80's.

Imagine being the mall manger and having an entire suite go missing for 13 years only to have it publicized that you forgot about it.
I’m really praying whoever finds it keeps it as it is.. stuff like this brings me so much joy. Our modern design isn’t as fun as it was back then.
You’re really praying for this? Go back to Tik Tok, Instagram or whatever else you use to mush your brain.
It wasn't lost... clearly it was found as they made a video of it showing the inside.
I hope whoever rents it, doesn't change a thing! I live in Maryland, so I'd definitely make a day trip just to see it!😍
Im in maryland to its less than an hour from me that would be awesome to go see!
I am also in Maryland. Wilmington is in northern DE :v
You can shoot a period tv show in there. The set is perfect!
Dude that's awesome. I miss fast food joints looking like that.
The crazy thing about this is that the store space was forgotten for 13 years. Hundreds of thousands in lost rent and nobody noticed?
Of course they noticed. They've been trying to rent that and a dozen other empty spaces the entire time. Mall space hasn't exactly been a hot item these last 13 years. Most malls have 1 or more empty anchor stores now (Sears, JCP, etc).
Not forgotten because the Christina mall nearby was expanding faster. That one was just slow
I live near this mall and can say it has suffered from poor management since the early 2000s. It's really gone down hill, lots of stores leave and nothing opens in their place. I'm not surprised
@@SalisburySnake our local mall was suffering so badly they allowed Dick's Sporting Goods to build a store in between the two halves of the mall with NO ACCESS into either part from inside. So if you're inside one half of the mall, you have to go outside the mall to get into Dick's, and then outside again to get to the rest of the mall. The store that used to be there (JC Penneys) you could just walk all the way through. Plus, the food court is gone now. There's no reason to even go there anymore.
Love how the mall manager can lose an entire store in his mall. From the title I assumed the Burger King was somehow trapped behind some new construction walls or a diverted hallway, nope, just behind a friggin door.
Looks more 90s. Super cool 😎. Hope someone can make use of the space and keep the vibe going.
Man I hope they re-open that BK exactly as is! I spent many many lunch breaks there. I worked at the old Sears Auto Center at the same mall.
It’s nostalgic!! ☀️🌈❤️. The 80s. Open it back as a Burger King and leave it as it is. Business would be booming !! It’s like a time capsule !! I would love to go there.
My father was a mall director for decades at several different malls in south Florida and I can’t imagine how many mall directors dropped the ball on this retail rental space over the years. Not sure if that is a Simon, Brookfield or a SITE owned mall but I’m sure they couldn’t be happy about that space not being rented out for the last 15+ years. I mean that’s hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted.
Tax write off
This isn't creepy/terrifying, this is history ✨💯
I remember seeing this Burger King whenever my parents and I came to this mall during the early-mid 2000s and thinking it looked really neat and totally 80s/early 90s. Wish we had eaten there before it closed. This entire mall actually has a cool vintage 80s/early 90s feel to it, which is why it was always one of my favorite malls to visit in Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Burger King should just reopen the location and having it as a Back to the past style restaurant. Would certainly bring people in.
No one:
Burger King: Let’s keep this Burger King a secret huh
That’s amazing. I hope they keep it for awhile. Lost bits of the eighties.
Omg I love it!! I absolutely loved the 80's. Nostalgia.
How i wish i could time travel and experience how Great to experience it those 80's days
The 80 i will like to see 👀 it wow is the same condition I was 3 years old there 😢 wow 3 year old like time go's wow
You would have loved it. So much fun! Before internet and 'smart phones'. Great music, great movies, and a feeling of hope for the future in the air. People actually talked face to face! I wish I could take my kids there... Take care little one!
I was born 1978 I was 3 years old that's why I respect a lot older people
Only if you’re a white male that’s straight & religious. Lol 😂
The 80s were a good time for sure, wish you could have been there too. People were happier and things were much more simple.
You don't know how bad I wish some of the places I went as a kid were preserved like this instead of just torn down. The old drugstore where I bought magazines. The grocery stores we went to. My favorite restaurants. The arcade. The movie theaters. Nothing is there anymore. And it breaks my heart. I'd give nearly anything to go back to the 80s, even for a little while.
Some existing locations still have aspects of that image. Especially that floor tile. Just saw it today in several locations
That brings back memories. Best times. Wish I could go back.
Make it an 80’s themed restaurant!
Exactly!
Cafe 80s (Back to the Future)
Wouldn't it be nice to have an 80's themed mall?
How cool! What an idea for fast food companies to open different locations restored to a previous eras decor. People sure would love it. Nostalgia is a very powerful emotion 💕👍
The burger King near my house looks like it's stuck in the 90s/early 2000s. The play place in that one still has the old burger King kids club designs from the 90s
That looks cool. I like vintage places. They add character.
Creepy old Burger King, perfectly preserved, frozen in time since the 80s...in operation in 2009.
Imagination is a wonderful thing.
not creepy
the real mystery is how a mall forgot that it boarded up thousands of dollars of potential monthly rent for YEARS.
It probably has other open spaces for rent. Theaters seem to be the only places in malls that get much business.
Yeah dum de dum dum dum.
Wow, it good to know you’re on the case! Maybe you can solve the missing Rally’s Burger case.
I’m was born in the 90s and I remember this setup as well!!!
"One mall employee is totally freaked..." "This place is terrifying."
Yeah. Considering you have huge spaces that nobody has checked for years.
They're probably checked all the time, not to mention accessed for maintenence and safety checks etc. The news was framing this as if it was a totally forgotten space that an employee "discovered". Not how things work, I'm afraid.

Had no idea Burger King was a hangout type place back in the day. Not surprised but still interesting!
Kids back then didn't have much to do besides hanging at malls. Imagine, no internet or cell phones. You called your friend from your house and arranged a time to meet at a certain tree inside the mall. If you split up with your friend you would never find him again at again.
No, they had more to do. Internet and cell phones equals nothing.
That's what you did in the 80s and 90s. Friday night you met at a fast food restaurant, grabbed a cheap burger, everyone figured out their plans for the night and if you weren't there you sat at home alone. Pre cellphone. I remember getting to the meet up late a few times and missing everyone. You basically just sat and waited until eventually someone else would show up late too. It wasn't uncommon for everyone to meet up at 8pm, then drive by the spot again at 10 to see if anyone else showed up.
It's in a mall though. No different than kids hanging out in the foodcourt.
Based on your comment it seems you’ve never been to Wilmington.
Surprised it still looks clean even after years of someone not getting inside
It was probably cleaned before the interview
It cleaned before interview, they cannot show dirty place for people. It was forgotten for 13 years. I can’t imagine how many time they will clean it.

Doubt it was "forgotten" either. I'm sure the mall was desperately trying to rent out that space (and a bunch of others) the entire time.
Yeah, this is a complete scam. This was (most?) BK's in the 2000's. Literally closed instead of getting a 2010 era refresh. There's lots of places sitting longer than this even existed for. This is just flat out misrepresentation, and I'm OUTRAGED.
I’ve been very nostalgic for the 80s and early 90s-era malls and fast food restaurants recently. I even listen to mallcore music. I thought I was the only one but it seems like everyone is going through this nostalgia phase. 😭
Thanks to social media perhaps

I ---- love it. Yes I'm 55 and i miss the incredible colors and styles of yesteryear
The only thing newsworthy about this is the mall hasn't been torn down.
Paleontologist: I found a rare and exciting new specimen that could change the fundamental way we look at our modern civilization.
Mall Manager: I found a Burger King that hasn't been changed since 1987.
Paleontologist: LEMME SEE
I've been to that mall so many times and I never knew that would've existed, I really hope they preserve it
Check it out when you have time, maybe it's still there
Nope. It’s going to be ruined now.
I hope they don't tear it down reminds me of the old burger king I'd go as a kid in the 2000s. makes me happy to see one existing.
This is amazing!!!!
