1978 — A Bigger, Bolder West Central

GoldenPrideABQ

The original West Central location closed on October 11, 1978. The very next day, a new and larger West Central store opened at 5231 Central Ave. NW, equipped with seven big fryers. First-day sales were $679. By Friday, they were at $1,300 — and climbing fast. The store was an immediate success.
