Several people have asked me what happened to the Burger King at 1049 U.S. 31-W By-Pass. I myself wondered, since I frequented the establishment often when I first came to the Daily News in June 1999. I had quit going recently because the quality and quickness of the service had started to lag. Burger King chose the spot to open a new restaurant in November 1973 to cater to Western Kentucky University students. The present owners, who bought the property and signed a 20-year lease to operate a Burger King franchise at the spot in 1982, said the action has moved back closer to Cemetery Road.It was a question of the flow of traffic, said Jim Schory, who owns Burger King restaurants on Morgantown and Scottsville roads and Campbell Lane. Schory is trying to predict the flow of traffic for the next 20 years as he decides where to place a new restaurant. Yes, were hoping to build another store in a different location, he said. We are looking at different spots. And while were at it, we want to change our image. The ideal location would be somewhere closer to the recently expanded Cemetery Road or even close to the roads new interchange off Interstate 65, Schory said. We want to be where something begins, not where it ends, he said. We have looked at sites and our real estate people have looked at sites. He also doesnt need any more real estate agents calling him, trying to get him to list the property on the bypass. Weve had more than enough of those, he said.Bowling Green businessmen Lowell Guthrie and Cornelius Martin were inducted into the Junior Achievement Hall of Fame on Thursday. Both are longtime supporters of Junior Achievement.I think its vital for our young people to see what makes our whole economy go, said Guthrie, who started Trace Die Cast in 1988.The company, which supplies automotive manufacturers worldwide, has grown from 10 employees at its creation to the present staff of more than 250 at its facility in the North Industrial Park on Graham Avenue. It is in the midst of its fifth expansion since opening. Im glad theyre starting Junior Achievement in the younger grades. Whatever they do, these students will benefit from having a basic understanding of how business works, Guthrie said. They also will know that the words business and profit are not bad words. Thats what makes our economy go and what makes our country great. Martin, president and CEO of Martin Management Group, bought his first automobile dealership in Bowling Green in 1985. Since that time, the company has grown to include 14 dealerships in five states. Martin also is a member of the board of directors of the Louisville Branch of the St. Louis Fed. Im honored to receive this award and especially to be included in such a distinguished group of individuals who have proceeded me in receiving this award, Martin said.
