McDONALD’S wants to build a new drive-thru restaurant in Barnsley - less than a mile away from the one it has near Asda.
The fast food giant has applied to Barnsley Council to redevelop the former Gala Bingo site at the junction of Upper New Street and Thomas Street, opposite Morrisons.
It wants to build a free-standing single storey restaurant that would be open 24/7 and is expected to create 65 jobs. It means there would be two McDonald’s within a mile of each other, in addition to the one at Stairfoot.
A McDonald’s spokesman said: “We can confirm an application has been submitted for a new restaurant on Upper New Street in Barnsley. A new opening would bring additional and significant investment to the local community and provide 65 full and part-time jobs. We already have a strong offering in the town which we are incredibly proud of. If approved, this will be our third drive-thru restaurant in the area which we are excited about.”
