McDonald's has revealed when it will be officially opening its third drive thru restaurant in Crewe, on land previously approved for Burger King.

The American chain will launch at The Market Shopping Centre Car Park, West Street, on Wednesday 27 March.

In January, McDonald's submitted a premises licence application to open 24 hours from the Crewe town centre site, seven days per week.

McDonald's is set to have three drive thru restaurants in Crewe this spring (Ryan Parker).

Work has been going on at the £1.4 million development since October 2023, with McDonald's outbidding Burger King for the car park last April.

The fast food giant acquired the land from Real Estate Investors (REI), originally targeting to open in "late 2023."
