The fast food company announced plans earlier this year to open more than 200 restaurants across the UK and Ireland over the next four years in a £1bn expansion drive.

The Magherafelt development was originally scheduled to open at the “end of the summer”, but this was later changed to the “end of the year.”

It is anticipated the new drive-thru will attract hundreds more visitors to this area of Magherafelt.
