A NEW Wendy's restaurant in the city centre will open next week, it has been announced.
The fast-food chain will open its first branch in Brighton in Western Road on March 1, offering signature menu items from the US, as well as a range of exclusive options only available in the UK, including the Veggie Stack and whole fillet Chicken Nuggets.
Paul Hilder, managing director for Wendy's UK, said: "Brighton is a vibrant, inclusive community and we are thrilled to be welcomed with open arms to Brighton's thriving food scene.
"As we look to expand our brand presence across England, our restaurant opening in Brighton puts us one step closer to bringing more Wendy's to more customers across the country.
"We also know convenience is key, and this restaurant offers access to Wendy's high-quality, made-to-order food through dine-in, take away and delivery."
The restaurant, known for its square burgers, will be the sixth to open in the UK, with outlets in Reading, Oxford, Stratford, Croydon and Romford opening last year.
Steven Derwoed, vice-president for global design and construction at Wendy's, said: "The Wendy's restaurant experience is all about creating a cool and energetic place that our customers and crew love being a part of.
"Our Brighton restaurant features custom W tables, and we have incorporated oversized pendant fixtures to accentuate the open and airiness of the space.
"We have created purpose-built high-top seating in the windows of both floors, which allows diners to look out over Western Road as they eat, and throughout the restaurant, there are several large art pieces that speak to what is important to us as a brand."
Customers will also be able to order food from the outlet straight to their door with UberEats.
Founded in 1969, Wendy's is also known for other signature items including chilli con carne, baked potatoes and the Frosty dessert. The company and its franchisees employ hundreds of thousands of people, with around 7,000 restaurants worldwide.
