Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken franchisee Chuck Newnham, whose company K2 Property LLC owns the parcel, told the Herald-Leader in September that the location was listed for a potential sale or ground lease that would result in the property not reopening as a Lee’s.
Newnham did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the post-demolition future of the spot, which is next door to the Taco Tico that shut down in August .
