Major American fast food chain has no plans to reopen restaurant in Waterford city

A major American fast food chain has said it has no plans to reopen a restaurant in Waterford city.

In a statement to Waterford Live, Burger King confirmed it currently has no plans to return to Ireland’s oldest city.

A spokesperson for the restaurant said: “Burger King is always seeking out opportunities for new restaurants.

“However, there are no current plans to open at this site.”

The American fast food chain operated a restaurant in City Square for over two decades.

However, it closed suddenly in March 2017, with no official explanation from Burger King management.

Since then, there have long been calls for the popular burger restaurant to return to Waterford.

These calls were amplified after Apple Green in Tramore recently sought planning permission for a drive-thru restaurant.

Burger King has since been approached for comment in relation to Tramore and whether it has any plans for elsewhere in the county.
