Burger King to open 13 new outlets

Burger King, which now has 57 restaurants in Poland, is to extend its chain with another eleven of its own outlets and two franchise restaurants, Eurobuild CEE said. "This year we will launch drive-thru restaurants in such cities as Gdańsk, Kraków and three locations in Silesia. These will be independent restaurants at exit roads, near petrol stations,” Przemysław Zacny, the development director of Burger King Poland, told Eurobuild CEE. “We will also be opening restaurants on high streets, as was the case with our flagship restaurant on pl. Konstytucji in Warsaw. A Burger King is also to be opened on Krakowskie Przedmieście in Lublin under this scheme. We are limiting our expansion in shopping centres. This is related to the development of the online shopping trend and the reduction of the role of shopping centres as catering zones and the decline in customer footfall. This year, the only shopping centre restaurant will be opened in Galeria Metropolia in Gdańsk,” explained Zacny.
