Ron Costill, co-owner of area Kentucky Fried Chicken
Restaurants, is shown here in the Dallas store which is
located on Memorial Highway, across from the. Dallas
Shopping Center.
- Nuggets have arrived in the northeast and Ron Costill of Dallas is
thrilled.
Nuggets - chicken nuggets that is - are now stocked and ready for
purchase in area Kentucky Fried Chicken stores and Costill, a
partner with Management Specialists, Inc., owners of Kentucky Fried
Chicken stores in northeast Pennsylvania, is just tickled pink with the
new product.
Costill has been associated with Management Specialists, Inc. for 14
years, having formerly served as a store supervisor and director of
operations. He was named partner four years ago and now shares
ownership duties with Jim Cocolin, also a resident of Dallas. Cocolin’s
Kentucky Fried Chicken stores.
Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets, a product which was first
introduced in California, have made their way across the United
States, arriving in the northeast section of the country just this week.
Costill, who considers the nuggets a ‘‘dynamic new product,” feels
they are a good value and will be high on the customers’ acceptance
list.
“We (the Kentucky Fried Chicken corporation) experimented with
an all-white chicken finger,” Costill said, ‘‘but it wouldn’t be a good
value for the money. The nuggets product, however, meets the
standards of Kentucky Fried Chicken.”
According to Costill, now is the best possible time to be involved in
the chicken business. :
“Chicken is one of the hottest things on the streets these days,” he
said. “Because of its value and its nutritional aspects, chicken is a
hot product right now.
“We (Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises) strive to serve-good,
quality chicken. ‘We do chicken right,” he’said, echoing the national
corporation’s slogan.
Costill explained that Kentucky Fried Chicken owners are some:
what hesitant to expand their businesses by deviating from a chicken
recipe. He feels that since chicken is what made the Kentucky Fried
Chicken franchises successful it is chicken they will stick with.
Costill, who calls the Kentucky Fried Chicken business the QSR
business which is shop talk for the “quick service restaurant”
business, is pleased to have worked his way up - especially in the
chicken business.
“As you work your way up, you encounter more challenges,’ Costill
said. “Your work becomes more fun and more exciting as your
horizons expand and as you go on to bigger and better things.
“The QSR business is exciting to be in just by the nature of the
beast,” he added. “It’s fast-acting and things don’t get stale.”” Costill
added that the 5,000 Kentucky Fried Chicken stores worldwide as well
as all chicken businesses are doing well these days.
“Times are good and sales are increasing all over,” Costill said.
“It’s a fun time to be involved.”
Management Specialists, Inc. owns Kentucky Fried Chicken fran-
chises in Dallas, Kingston, Pittston, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and
Hazleton. All area Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants are open
seven days a week. :

for something different for that
special person in their family or for
a friend, the Lakeside Dock & Gift
Shoppe has opened just in time.

and Guy Giordano, opened=Dec. 1
with a large inventory of nautical
gift items of hess, glass, wood,
prints, boats, motors and boat
accessories.
The business is'a dream Giordano
has had for many years, so when he
had the opportunity, he purchased a
piece of property at Sunset along
Rte. 415 and designed the building
which is finished with a barnwood
ceiling, plastered walls and warm
beige wall-to-wall carpeting.
Open Monday through Friday
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday
from noon to 6 p.m., boats-and boat
trailers by Chaparral and Mercury
outboard motors are on display in
the new store. What could be more
ideal for Dad for Christmas than a
small outboard motor he could use
for fishing or just enjoying himself
Bank gets
drive-ups
The Dallas Branch of the United
Penn Bank will have four new
drive-up windows by December 15,
thus alleviating traffic congestion
on Main Street in Dallas.
For years now, there has been a
traffic problem ‘right outside the
bank with the drive-up windows
located close to Main Street. The
four new windows, which are
located further back on the bank
property will allow for more cars to
line up on the bank property and off
Main Street.
Three of the four new windows
will use underground tubes with the
customers’: banking being serviced
by a teller inside the bank building.
That teller, however, will be visible
to the driver of the car.
Included in the new construction
is reconstruction of the bank’s side
entrance which features ‘a new
canopy, new curbs, new sidewalks
also be new paving, new lighting
and new landscaping on he bank
property.
on the lake?
Unique bookends, lamps, napkin
holders, mugs, clocks, lanterns,
frames, mallard ducks are among
the many nautical gift items in the
shoppe.
Assisting the . Giordanos during
the day when Pat and Guy are at
work is Marian DeBalko. Pat is a
member of the Valley West School
District faculty and Guy is affiliated
with Health Systems Management
Associates where he is vice presi-
dent of development. The Associates
build nursing homes and do health
care consulting.
A resident of Harveys Lake for 12
years, Guy is the owner of the
former Wildwood Girl Scout prop-
erty located along the lake front.
Having had his own boat and reno-
vating his home overlooking the
water, Guy is quite knowledgeable
about nautical items.
It is interesting that the Giorda-
nos have so much faith in the future
of Harveys Lake, that they have
opened the first new major business
in that area in many years.
“We have a good feeling about the
area,” said Guy. “And we believe
this business can be a step in
turning the lake around.”
