Kenney's People
Some early Kenney's employees at work.
Another employee preparing some sides to go, with a box of Kenney's 'Chicken Fair' fried chicken.
In the original style Kenney's buildings, you could watch everything happening while they made your meal.
The first buildings had no indoor customer area. You stood outside at the service window to order. Here (Williamson Rd.) you placed your order at the first window, picked up your food at the second, and drinks at the third. This photo was taken during a 'Free Tablecloth w/ Family Pak Bucket of Chicken' promotion.
Kenney's 'Chicken Fair' chicken. Later on it would be replaced by Kenney's 'Great American' chicken. Remember the delicious, crispy deep fried biscuits wth honey?
An early assortment of Lynchburg and Martinsville Kenney's and Biff-Burger newspaper ads.
Another Kenney's cup survivor from eBay, this one features the Big K, an earlier signature sandwich.
Here's the original Kenney's sign at the Buena Vista location, featuring a Double K with tomato - 45 cents.
Some of the early Kenney's A-frames featured striped ceramic tile on their exteriors. It was an architectual design feature shared with a prominent national chain at that time.
Another employee, perhaps broiling some Kenney Burgers on the famous "Roto-Broiler".
Something was very amusing about that batch of fried chicken.
This is an interior look at the Kenney's on Orange Ave. (460 East).
The '60s was the era of big hair. It was very popular, kind of like iPods are today.
A close look over her left shoulder reveals one of the famous "Roto-Broilers" used at that time.
This was a very unusual looking Kenney's. It featured Kenney's 'Quick Service' ChickenKing signage.
Another illustrated Kenney's Big K sign, slightly different and a bit smaller then the one on the previous page. It looks like something had already damaged this one.
