(KAIR)--Atchison's KFC/Taco Bell restaurant is closed, seized by the Kansas Department of Revenue for taxes owed.
Revenue Spokeswoman Freda Warfield tells MSC News in a press release the franchisee, Atchison Management LLC, owes nearly $60,000 in state sales and withholding taxes.
The business assets of the LLC were seized, including all known bank accounts, on-site cash, business inventory, and personal property assets belonging to owners Dan and Mary Leonida.
The press release states the business, located at 14th and U.S. Highway 59, will be sold at public auction to pay the taxes owed.
The restaurant was sealed closed Wednesday following the seizure conducted by the Kansas Department of Revenue civil asset enforcement and the Atchison County Sheriff's Office.
The closure is made apparent by the bright pink “closed” and bright yellow “seized” signs posted on the entrance doors, as well as the drive-thru window.
The press release states that such warrant executions occur only after all other collection attempts are exhausted.
This isn't the first tax battle for the restaurant's owners, with a similar seizure made in 2010.
