Pending city approval, two hotspots for a quick burger could be demolished soon.

The former Burger King at 3200 Olentangy River Rd., right between El Vaquero and Bob Evans, is featured in Columbus city building permits, seeking a demolition for the entire building.

Since it closed years ago, no other restaurant or business has moved in. However, permits show that the property was sold to Columbia Gas of Ohio for $1.7 million this month.

The White Castle at 1025 Alum Creek is also being razed, but to make way for a new…White Castle. As of now though, the casual burger joint is still open.

White Castle did not comment on when they plan to close and demolish the current building and rebuild a new one. Recently, the company has been renovating previous buildings around town, many of which were built in the ’80s.
