Fast food joint Burger King due to re-open East Kilbride Drive-Thru this week

Burger King is lifting the Drive-Thru shutters at its restaurant in East Kilbride as part of its phased re-opening plan.

The restaurant at Kinsgate Retail Park will be open for Drive-Thru and delivery only as of this weekend.

It is one of two which is  partly reopening in Scotland, with the other being in Stirling.

Rival fast food joint McDonalds saw large queues of traffic at its Queensway and Lees Burn Court outlets when they opened last Thursday.

Customers will be able to place their orders via Deliveroo / Just Eat / Drive Thru.

By the end of June, Burger King are working towards re-opening 350 restaurants.

Safety is Burger King’s number one priority, and to enable restaurants to continue to re-open a number of procedures have been put in place to safeguard the health of both Burger King employees and customers, following detailed operational testing.

These include additional PPE such as masks and gloves for staff, stringent cleaning measures, contactless delivery options via Deliveroo and Just Eat and all Burger King staff comprehensively trained on the Government’s social distancing measures – including how to run kitchens hygienically, whilst abiding by them.

Although the delivery-only service will mean customers won’t be able to access the full Burger King menu, Burger King favourites such as the Chicken Royale, Bacon Double Cheeseburger and Whopper will all be available to order.

Katie Evans, Marketing Director at Burger King UK said: “We are so pleased to be able to open more restaurants this week and slowly but surely get back to ‘normal’, ensuring all safety measures are in place.”
