I was delighted to be asked to officially open a new branch of the Burger King restaurant franchise in Abington Street recently. Burger King is of course one of the most popular restaurant chains in the country, and local entrepreneur Sukhi Panesar has invested in Northampton town centre with the conversion of a former pub near Albion Place.
As well as occupying an available shop front in the town centre I was told that this new restaurant will also bring in 25-30 new jobs to the town.
I had some fun after the opening wearing a Burger King uniform and trying to serve some very patient customers at the till!
I support business and the promotion of commerce in Northampton, and am always pleased to see investment in our town.
