McDonald's at Whiteley: Opening date finally revealed for new fast-food restaurant

The golden arches will open on May 1, in the former Chimichanga and Hancock's unit overlooking the carpark. Announcing the news on the shopping centre’s social media pages the fast-food chain tells its customers it will ‘See you soon’.

It also follows the opening of a number of new places to eat which have opened in Whiteley over the past year including Greggs in December. However the dinosaur-themed Jurassic Grill at Whiteley closed its doors at the beginning of the year after its parent company was put up for sale - leaving the unit empty.

Mia Gordon, centre director at Whiteley, said: “McDonald’s is an exciting addition to our current restaurant offering and we know how popular it is going to be with visitors looking for a quick bite to eat. The new restaurant will also bring even more employment opportunities for the local community and it’s great to see just how many roles are being created”.

McDonald’s is currently recruiting for around 40 positions with a variety of full-time and part-time roles available, including Crew Member and Delivery/Maintenance Staff Member. More information can be found on McDonald’s website.
