KFC re-opens at Milton Keynes service station

The KFC restaurant was opened this week and the Starbucks Cafe will follow on Tuesday next week.

Burger King at the service area will re-open on Thursday June 4, say Welcome Break bosses.

John Diviney, CEO at Welcome Break, said: “As the lockdown slowly eases and people around the UK gradually return to work we are delighted to be opening up these great brands. It will provide a much-needed boost to those on the road and to support Britain working again. We very much look forward to welcoming back our returning customers. The health and safety of our colleagues and customers remains our absolute priority and we will continue to be guided by advice from Public Health England at all times”.

He said the move follows much planning and preparation with brand partners and the company will be closely following strict government and Public Health England guidelines to ensure the safety of all.

"As we begin to reopen these brands, the health and safety of our customers and team members remains our highest priority. As such, we have made a number of important changes. We have reconfigured our layout to enable customers to navigate around the building and adhere to social distancing guidelines; whilst further stepping up our hygiene and cleaning processes."

KFC restaurants at the Xscape in CMK and the Stadium MK are also open for home delivery.
