Burger King to hand out 1,000 free Whoppers and Chicken Royales at new drive-thru in Bolton

A thousand people are in for a free treat as a new Burger King outlet opens in Bolton. The fast food giant is set to open next Monday, December 11, at Bridgewater Avenue as part of the Logistics North site.

To celebrate opening day, the restaurant is giving away 1,000 free burgers to customers, with flame-grilled Whoppers and Chicken Royales up for grabs. News of the new drive-thru was announced after planing permission was granted in June.

The fast food giant said 30 full and part-time jobs have been created at the new restaurant. Developers A&F Forecourts has already completed the development of the site at Bridgewater Avenue, and has now added Burger King.

The first stage of the petrol forecourt development, which includes an electrical car charging hub, has already been completed. The free burger deal is first-come-first-served on the day of opening on Monday, December 11, only at Unit E2, Bridgewater Avenue, Bolton.

To get in on a bite of the action, visitors need to order a Whopper or chicken royale at the front counter or via drive thrus to get their burger for free. The 100th customer to enter the branch will also win 24 whopper or royale burgers to claim at the Bolton restaurant before December next year.

Limited-edition Burger King UK tote bags will also be given out to mark the opening, including a leaflet with exclusive offers available on the Burger King app. Guests will need to be quick to claim them as there are only 100 available.

Alasdair Murdoch, CEO of Burger King UK, said: “We know the people of Bolton love the great-tasting food of Burger King, so we’ve listened to their requests and are very excited to bring all their favourites to their neighbourhood.”
