Exciting news for Merthyr Tydfil! A brand-new McDonald’s drive-thru could soon be opening at Pengarnddu Business Park. The planning application has been submitted, spotlighting a sleek new restaurant along Common Road, transforming a once-neglected site.
Say goodbye to fly-tipping and hello to a fresh hotspot! This development promises more than just Big Macs and fries. With plans to create 105 direct jobs once the golden arches are up and running, plus a boom of 125 jobs during construction, it’s a win for the local economy. Not to mention, there’s an expected £2 million annual boost from operational employment, and a tasty £58,000 increase in business rates revenue each year.
Fancy a quick pit stop? Expect a dual drive-thru, 32 parking spaces (with spots for electric vehicles), and even room for cyclists. It’s all designed to keep those queues moving so you can grab your McNuggets in no time.
