I know, right? It seems counterintuitive. Then again, they'd be dumb to let go of the location. Downtown's community plan bans new drive thru restaurants. If they let go, they'd be zoned out of the neighborhood.
Jack In The Box on C and 11th was denied a rebuild permit years ago because of that design guideline. They overcame it by applying for a reno, which let them keep their drive thru.
Plus that MD location is corp owned, so they're less likely to fall for a land deal, whereas a franchise owner would probably think quick, high profit over long term investment.
