A fair number of people pointed out the paint job in progress on the SW corner of 14th Street and Second Avenue, home to KFC.
The red-and-white stripes on the Second Avenue side were painted over to make way for an ad for — per KFC insiders — the return of the brand's Chizza. ("The all-chicken, no crust Chizza consists of two zinger fillets of crispy chicken, topped with delectable pizza sauce, molten cheese, a smattering of onions and mixed peppers, finished with an herb sprinkle.")
Anyway, scenes of the paint-over prompted some speculation that the place was closing... that is not true.

We could use that off brand KFC there.
Noted, thanks grieve!
I remember when KFC was called Kentucky Fried Chicken, they also served dinner rolls before bisquits. And this corner had an OTB before KFC.
Rhymes with 'jizza'. Don't ask about the molten cheese.
KFC pivoting from the name Kentucky Fried Chicken reminds me of MTV pivoting from Music TeleVision. Just a passive confession from a company that they no longer care about their original product.
The KFC moniker was officially adopted in 1991.
