A new Burger King could be open in Caerphilly “within the next week” according to the man behind the plans.
Chris Baker, who owns 17 Burger King franchises through his company Unionburger, spoke to Caerphilly Observer about his latest in Caerphilly town centre.
“I’ve been in the game for 40 years now and have been looking for sites in south Wales for the past few years.
“We usually go for drive-thru type ones, but this one will be more of a takeaway style. We’ll see how it goes.”
Mr Baker added how they had plenty of applications, and have hired 35 employees from the area to work in the new store, which formerly housed Halifax.
It will be the second time a Burger King franchise has opened at Castle Court Shopping Centre, with the other opening in 2016 but closing a year later.
However, that franchise was not operated by Mr Baker or Unionburger.
