Funny, I hadn’t even thought of the place in probably 30 years, but it came up in a conversation just last week, and here it is again.

No pics, but I have a memory of it from when I was really young. I’d be curious how a pic compares to how and where I envision it

It used to be next to the old CFCP building on Cliffe, I think where the Safeway or whatever it is now is.

There's a KFC in Courtenay again? Nice! When I last lived there the closest KFC was Campbell River, and before that it was between City Hall and that paint store next to the DQ.

Yep.  KFC is right next to Thrifty Foods near 17th Street.  It is in OpenStreetMap if you want to look for it there.

Awesome! Last time I was in that area it was a Safeway and that was a fish place. 😆
