A Nostalgic Restaurant

by ScarFox9700
After the last restaurant of its kind closes for good back on Earth, a nostalgic Human buys up every piece of the restaurant that he can, and brings them to Equestria to try and bring his nostalgia back to life

In 2024, it finally happened. Target, the big-name box-store, finally closed its last in-store restaurant, known to many as "The Target Cafe", but was officially known as "Food Avenue Express". For many years following their introduction in 1990, these little in-store restaurants served up countless meals of comfort food, and brought endless amounts of joy to countless people, but as the 2010's wore on, more and more of these cafes were closed, in favor of Starbucks, Pizza Hut Express, or a handful of other choices, none of which captured the same charm that the Food Avenue Express's had. The Covid-19 Pandemic saw almost all of them close for good, until by 2023, all that was left was the Target Cafe inside the Target in my hometown, but when Target closed that location following the construction of a brand-new Target across town, the last Food Avenue Express closed with it. Now with everything inside the old Target store being auctioned off, I saw an opportunity to save everything I could from the last Target Cafe, and bring it all to Equestria, where I hoped to finally fulfill my childhood dream of owning a real Food Avenue Express restaurant, free from Target's influence. And now that dream will become a reality
