Burger King set for UK expansion with 200 new sites over five years


Burger King has added five new sites to its UK portfolio, with new sites just opened sites in Haymarket, Leicester, Trinity Walk, Wakefield, Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre, Wrexham, Airedale Shopping Centre, Keighley and The Arndale Centre, Accrington.

The company now intends to surge on with its expansion strategy and is planning 200 additional new sites in the UK within the next five years.

With a current portfolio of more than 500 sites, Burger King has also recently undertaken a programme of refurbishment works across its UK estate with the installation of the new '2020' corporate image which has seen sales increase in the re-fitted stores.

Thomas Rose of property adviser Cushman & Wakefield which is exclusively retained by Burger King UK said; „The Burger King Brand continues to expand aggressively across the UK under all their formats - High Streets, Shopping Centres and Drive Thrus. We are looking for more sites in 2014 and look forward to reaching our goal of 200 new sites over five years.“
