Hidden Burger King Restaurant Found Behind a Wall

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.

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! :)

Pretty much the most exciting thing to happen to Delaware.

Keep it nostalgic with an 80s feeling. That would make people of all ages show up in droves and get an awesome experience 👏

They better not tear it down. A relic like this should be reused and honored.

Whoever said this is “terrifying” needs to get out more. There’s nothing creepy or terrifying about it. It’s freaking awesome!

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.

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.

Burger King should buy it and reopen it.

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

imagine how cool it would be if they reopened it and kept everything the same... so nostalgic for some people

Both creepy and beautiful. Anything 'frozen in time' is almost always fascinating. Nostalgia really does drive us.

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 ☺️❤️

Speaking as a filmmaker, this spot is a dream come true. The entire set is basically already built.

My Mom and My aunt ate at this Burger King when they were little. It’s really cool to see a restaurant frozen in time, and I hope they keep it like this.

Honestly the 80s burger king looks better than the current ones

This is so cool. My husband was an Assistant Manager of a Burger King during this time. He is now deceased. This brings back so many good memories.

There's no way it was forgotten. Developers account for EVERY square foot especially in a mall.

Even though I wasn’t alive yet I still get a sense of joy looking at such a cool little relic in time!!! ☺️

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
