An "iconic" coffee and doughnut chain is set to open its first ever drive-thru cafe in North Wales.
Canadian brand Tim Hortons wants to take on the former Carphone Warehouse store on Broughton Shopping Park.
Its only Welsh branch so far is in Cardiff.
This would be a boost to the Flintshire retail park which is losing its Outfit store.
A planning statement submitted to Flintshire council said: "Tim Horton’s is an iconic Canadian coffee shop brand, best known for coffee and doughnuts.
"In 2017, Tim Horton’s began opening stores in the UK in locations such as Cardiff, Glasgow and London.
"The Tim Horton’s franchise is currently being rolled out across the UK, with the proposed Broughton operation forming the first drive-thru unit in Wales.
"In terms of direct employment, each drive-thru store typically provides up to 40-50 jobs, offering roles such as managers, baristas, maintenance operatives and cleaners. Indirect job opportunities will also arise during the construction / fit-out stage and in terms of servicing the unit."
The Carphone Warehouse site closed at Broughton last year and has been empty since then.
