Spangles - Emporia, KS Spangles a family owned chain. Emporia, Kansas location. This was the cleanest “fast food” business I’ve ever visited. Their breakfast menu was a thing of beauty. Someone should tell their manager that Spangles makes Whataburger look like a Taco Bell with health code violations that is located in a bus station dirty bathroom.
