The iconic UCF area chicken restaurant El Corral is closed and a “for lease” sign has been posted on its front door.

The "for lease" sign was added after the "reopening soon" sign.

KnightNews.com noticed the “for lease” sign today. A couple weeks ago when KnightNews.com stopped by, there was no “for lease” sign but there was a sign posted saying closed for repairs and renovations, and stating it would be reopening soon.

The recent addition of the “for lease” sign, however, raises big questions as to whether El Corral will in fact be opening soon.

KnightNews.com did a check of health inspection records of El Corral, and records show El Corral “met inspection standards” on Sept. 9, 2011 for health code. KnightNews.com is working to find out if the restaurant had any past violations.

KnightNews.com will also work to contact the El Corral managers to find out exactly what the future plans are for UCF’s favorite chicken joint, known for its famous white sauce and low prices.

Last year, KnightNews.com’s Entertainment Unit shot a music video at El Corral to highlight its popularity with students and employees working in the UCF area. You can check that video out below:
