I have long believed it was some sort of conspiracy keeping Burger King out of Stafford. I mean, how can we have 2 MacDonalds, 2 KFC's countless pizza chains, but no Burger King? A little more expensive than MacD's, but holy crap, sooo much better. Please let it be true!!!

I wonder if the frequency of chavs will increase? Although if more expensive, they may avoid it. Interesting hypothesis...?

Sports Direct = chavtastic, or not.... you decide.
I think McD's in town attracts the chavs and the one by Bristol Street attracts the boy racer chavs so a Burger King in place of flowerhouse will probably attract more of the later...

If BK do start up in the old flowerpower house i'd guess that daytime trading will be serving the many customers that are flocking to this area since the new 5 or so units opened. There are currently two units empty, sports arena and carpetright, the way it's going we could soon be seeing another big high street name down there.Plus i'm sure that with BK we'll see a urinal arrival....

I know from a reliable source that the lease on Flowerhouse expires April/May and that the owners were debating if to renew or not. (Heard this in March). They did really well at first, especially through Christmas but in the New Year trade has died and it's a large unit for them.
They are however, exploring the potential of opening up in a shop in town.
To Florence, where is the 2nd KFC? There is only the new one surely, the old one has closed down.

Sorry for butting in, but I doubt Florence has gone down Greyfriars lately. Although, I only knew KFC was closed about 2 weeks ago. It's a bit like the Mary Celeste there now. Anyone know what's going to replace it? Also on the subject of Greyfriars, what's the deal with that derelict house? It looks so out of place there and seems to have been for sale forever. Maybe they should knock that bit down and build a few flats there similar to 'Number 7' instead of business units?...highguyuk said:

Stafford Sports Arena building was knocked down as soon as they shut and rebuilt (into the style of the newer Next/Mothercare/Brantano style) and Carpetright have been in there for at least a 2-3 weeks.AndyST17 said:
Surerly Flowerhouse is way to big for a fastfood outlet?

IIRC it was up for sale last year for about £250k! Never gonna sell at that price.The Stafford Beast said:
So is having a Burger King and KFC the mark of a town's excellence? Does that really add to the quality and value of our environment, does it? Surely it is cheaper and just as easy to make food that makes you fat and feel sick at home? There must be no end of mass produced, low nutritional value meat products available at all good supermarkets...
You can't argue with progress, as much as the more civilised among us may feel that what Stafford is really missing is a lentil-heavy vegetarian wholefood cafe....
