Fast food outlet Hungry Jack's had their first (and for many years, only) Tasmanian store in North Hobart which opened in 1997, though it is located a block away from the restaurant strip. Subway also has a store in the area. Local Hobart chicken takeaway chain Legs and Breasts, which has a number of stores scattered around Hobart, also has a North Hobart store. KFC also ran a small restaurant opposite the State Theatre from 1978 to 1998 but this was closed due to lack of profitability.
