Fresh plans for KFC drive-thru?

Mon, 16 Sep 2019

KFC has again its sights set on opening a drive-thru restaurant on the Isle of Man.

The fast food giant is looking to expand across the British Isles and has revealed it wants to open a site on the Island.

The company's latest list unveiled this month (September 2019) again lists for a potential store on the Isle of Man.

A KFC spokesman said: "We have bold ambitions to have over 1,000 stores in the UK and Ireland by 2020 and we are looking to build over 50 new stores a year."

Plans were submitted for a drive-thru to be built on Peel Road in Douglas last year but was criticised by local residents and health professionals.

KFC closed its last store on the Island in 2016.
