MB Chicken has officially landed in Preston’s Miller Arcade.

Locals flocked to the opening of the newest UK branch of the largest Canadian-owned quick serve chicken restaurant.

BBC Radio Lancashire’s John ‘Gilly’ Gillmore was on hand as special guest to cut the ribbon and welcome the first customers through the doors.

To mark the occasion, the team gave away 100 free Big Mary® sandwiches, with queues forming early and a fantastic reception from the local community.

“We’ve been blown away by the response so far and can’t wait to welcome even more people through our doors.”
