A fast food chain has temporarily closed its branch in Chatham High Street to complete a major refurbishment. Burger King has closed to customers for a number of weeks while "exciting" refurbishment works are undertaken. Contractors have been recently seen stripping out the interior of the branch, with the suspended ceiling and lighting completely removed. A spokesperson for Burger King UK said: "Our Burger King restaurant located at 247 High Street, Chatham, is currently undergoing an exciting refurbishment.
"Work began on March 3rd to showcase our updated, modern restaurant design roll out, using natural materials with a bold colour palette and American prints. "We can confirm that the restaurant will be reopening in the coming weeks." The branch was open for takeaway orders only as a result of the current Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Founded in 1954, Burger King has grown to become the second largest fast food hamburger chain in the world, with over 500 branches alone in the UK. Kent Reliance in Chatham has reopened its doors to customers following a makeover that took a fortnight to complete. Improvements to the bank include an enhanced layout, better access with a new automatic sliding door and increased privacy inside. A new-look glazed shopfront has also been installed and the external cashpoint removed. It reopened its doors to customers yesterday (Monday, 8 March). Savings operations manager Jenny Longbottom said: “At Kent Reliance, we’re continuing with our plans for the future and we’re really pleased to progress our branch enhancement programme to ensure we offer the best possible customer experience.
"We understand the importance of our branches to customers and that they value the personal service our staff offer," she added. As part of its programme, Kent Reliance recently opened a new branch in Strood High Street at the end of January, just around the corner from its previous location in Tolgate Lane. Kent Reliance is an award-winning banking service provider based in Chatham, having operated for over 150 years. It was founded in 1898 as the Chatham & District Reliance Building Society, later changing its name to the Kent Reliance Building Society in 1986. |
