Kind for Cures
Kind for Cures was a medicinal marijuana dispensary located in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles County. The dispensary inhabited a building that was previously occupied by a Kentucky Fried Chicken. The store opened in 2009 and the owners' decision to keep the same KFC acronym garnered national media attention, including being the inspiration for an episode of South Park in 2010. However, on June 10, 2015, the owners were ordered to shut down the business by the afternoon of June 11th, 2015. As of this update (6/11/15), Kind for Cures is no longer in business.
==History==
Originally KFC kept the traditional red roof, as seen in South Park, until YUM Corporation threatened to file a lawsuit against the KFC owners, citing trademark infringement against the Colonel's famous red mansard roof. YUM agreed to paint the roof green for the owners in 2010. Scrap metal from the original Kentucky Fried Chicken oven ranges was used to create the interior designs inside the showroom. The original floor, counters and food refrigerators also remain to keep the originality and humor intact.〔(New KFC Opens In Palms? Sort of...(Instead of Fried Chicken, They Sell Marijuana) - August 27, 2009 )〕
''LA Weekly'' called the owners' marketing a "genius" strategy and KFC won “The Best Re-Appropriation of a Fast Food Restaurant Award” in LA Weekly's “Best Of 2009” Publication.
.〔(BEST REAPPROPRIATION OF A FAST-FOOD RESTAURANT - 2009 - December 16-22, 2009 )〕 A northern California dispensary tried to copy the KFC marketing strategy in August 2010 by donning the same acronym and trying to lease a KFC in the state of Maine, but it was denied.〔(‘We only sell marijuana here' - July 13, 2010 )〕
