Actually, yes, although I don't know why they ever opened one there to begin with.... The put one in pretty much a residential neighborhood next to a high school. They closed it within 3 years. They already had one 2 miles away on a busy interstate, so unless they thought they were going to make a killing on student lunches or after school snacks, I never understood why they opened one where they did.
