KFC nears completion
CONSTRUCTION of Warrnambool’s second KFC store is well underway, with completion now anticipated to be mid-August.
Construction on the 1200 square metre site at Gateway Plaza got underway in January this year, with works currently being undertaken by Horsham-based company, Locks Construction.
It is anticipated that up to 60 new jobs will be created with the store’s opening, providing full-time, part-time and casual positions both in-store and as delivery drivers.
According to Craig Williams, director of The Bird Group (which currently operates the existing Raglan Parade store, along with several others across the western district), it is hoped this new store will help alleviate some of the problems on Raglan Parade.
“We’re aware of some of those issues on Raglan Parade in terms of vehicle access and customer parking and we’ve listened to customer feedback,” Mr Williams said late last year.
“This area (at the Plaza) is the perfect fit for us and the perfect fit for our customers.”
