Work has commenced on a new Burger King drive-thru development in Crewe, previously approved for a Tim Hortons.

Burger King is set to open on Grand Junction Retail Park this year, with work beginning at the site on Monday 12 August.

The site has had planning permission for a drive-thru, since Cheshire East Council approved Tim Hortons UK's plans last November.

The former Frankie & Benny's/Gourmet 4 unit has had planning permission fo a drive thru since proposals were approved for Tim Hortons last November (Ryan Parker).

In July, Burger King was given advertisement consent for the former Frankie & Benny's/Gourmet 4 unit, with 21 new signs set to be placed around the site.

The drive-thru is currently being constructed to the side of the 3,250 square foot retail park building, next to TK Maxx.

Alterations are also being made to the existing car park. A potential play area/additional seating inside the Burger King restaurant have been discussed.

This development comes following a recent failed attempt for Burger King to come to Crewe.

In 2021, the American multinational chain was given planning permission to construct a new drive-thru on Market Shopping Centre Car Park.

Burger King's drive-thru is currently being constructed to the side of the 3,250 square foot retail park building, next to TK Maxx (Ryan Parker).

This fell through in April 2023, when McDonald's purchased the site for £1.4 million. The fast food outlet went on to open its third branch in the town this March.
