Burger King is set to open 10 new restaurants in 10 days, part of a plan by the UK business and its franchise partners to expand its estate over 2022.
The first of these new restaurants opened in Bristol, Glenrothes and Newtown on Sunday 20 March 2022.
These will be followed with openings in Ayr, Bourne (where three new restaurants will open), Belfast, Colindale, and Weston-Super-Mare by 29 March 2022.
Four of the new restaurants will be opened by franchise partners, while the Colindale site will be a dark kitchen - facilitating deliveries to the local area.
Combined, the new openings will create around 300 jobs across the UK and will generate new business in local areas. They will bring Burger King UK’s total number of restaurants to 519.

Alasdair Murdoch, CEO of Burger King UK, has said of the openings: “Burger King UK, together with its franchise partners, is driving continued growth across its UK estate with these latest openings. The new restaurants form part of the significant restaurant expansion the brand has planned for 2022 and beyond, and will create new job opportunities for local communities.”
