Alasdair Murdoch, CEO of Burger King UK, said: “We’re excited to welcome a new franchisee and look forward to the partnership ahead of us. It’s brilliant to see expansion within the hospitality industry after what’s been a trying time, and we wish the best of success to the Trecco Bay Holiday Park venture.”
Steve Richards, chief executive of Parkdean Resorts, said: “We’re always looking to improve our food and drink offer, and Burger King opening at Trecco Bay will be a great addition for our guests on park to enjoy.
“We know how important the park is to the economy in Porthcawl and take our role as a major local employer very seriously, so we’re pleased to be able to provide more jobs for the community.”
Upon opening sometime in August, Burger King promises to showcase its updated, modern restaurant design at the Trecco Bay resort, using natural materials with a bold colour palette and American prints. Other new additions at Trecco Bay include a sports dome, a high ropes course, an outdoor climbing wall, and a virtual reality gaming area. The park also boasts a new arts and crafts den and creative activities available throughout the day.
