Burger King has opened its newest Preston restaurant – replacing what was a very recognisable eatery.

Plans for Burger King to open at Preston Docks next to the Odeon cinema – replacing the old Chiquitos restaurant which had been closed since 2020 – were revealed by Blog Preston in January.

It is the second drive-thru Burger King to open in the city – with one already operating at the Fulwood Central development on Eastway.

The new Burger King opened today (13 December) with around 1,000 burgers being given away from 10am on a first-come-first-served basis.

A Burger King spokesperson said: “The new Preston Riversway restaurant will be offering table service, so hungry customers can place their order, take a seat and enjoy their mouthwatering menu items being delivered directly to their tables.”
