BURGER KING COMING TO GA!

Seemingly 'within days' Gran Alacant will have a Burger King drive thru in the Commercial Centre! We are there daily and have not seen anything?

I am currenly on a short break in Peniscola and stumbled upon yet another drive-through Mac Donalds today ... my reaction was "Oh no, they are everywhere, even here". Now Burger King in GA ? ?

Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure it will be a welcome and successful addition to GA.
Best wishes to them.
Surprised there's nothing to see yet as one of these operations takes a lot of planning and costs a small fortune to open

Interesting not my favourite diner either but the grandkids love them

Near where we live about 6 years ago McDonald's as a trial built and opened a restaurant in about 2 weeks  from breaking ground to opening it was amazing to watch it go up daily never seen so many workmen on a site it is made of a type so corregsted metal and wood but it was still a real achievement

Doubt that will happen in GA and I think the policy now is to move into already finished and used buildings it's so sad to see so many old London pubs are now these places but I guess there is a large market

These guys do that much research on demographics, head counts, seasonal fluctuations, the competition etc etc before they open a franchise it is very very unlikely that they have got their numbers wrong.

I reckon they are onto a winner

I agree John these fast food franchises rarely fail.The coming to GA shows they have faith in the area.It will do well because it offers good value consistant quality food. Not what i like but millions do.Robust monitoring by the council will sort any rubbish problems.

No signs of anything happening today either, the only places I think it could go is the wasteland opposite Grannet's office, the wasteland by the N332 or the wasteland opposite the Chinese Restaurant. Will let you know as soon as we see anything!
