(KAIR)--Atchison's KFC/Taco Bell is reopening.
That comes one day after the restaurant was seized, and closed, by the Kansas Department of Revenue, claiming taxes owed.
Owner Mary Leonida calls the situation “a misunderstanding” and says the keys to the business have been returned, with the restaurant reopening at 5:00 Thursday afternoon.
On Wednesday, the Kansas Department of Revenue civil asset enforcement, and the Atchison County Sheriff's Office, seized the restaurant, located at 14th and U.S. Highway 59, plastering the doors, as well as the drive-thru window, with bright pink “closed” and bright yellow “seized” signs.
The KDOR claimed franchisee Atchison Management LLC, owed $60,000 in state sales and withholding taxes, seizing the assets of owners Dan and Mary Leonida, and stated in a press release the building would be sold at public auction.
KDOR spokeswoman Freda Warfield, in an emailed response to MSC News, says "an acceptable payment arrangement has been achieved with the business" allowing for the reopening.
Mary Leonida says “everything's good” at this point, and looks forward to getting back to business and serving the local customers.
