🍔🎉 After much anticipation, the Burger King at the Picton Court roundabout in Bridgend has finally opened its doors! Nearly a year has passed since the building was completed, and locals have been buzzing about what’s been happening behind those closed doors.
Originally met with objections from Bridgend County Borough Council due to potential traffic concerns and safety issues for pedestrians, the project hit a few snags. The council’s refusal led to a significant appeal, with Burger King emerging victorious after the Welsh Government stepped in. With construction done, the site stood eerily quiet, gaining a reputation as a ‘ghost Burger King.’
Local favourite Meg’s Grill and Chill, famed for its massive sandwiches, had to relocate, making way for the fast-food titan. There were delays due to some road adjustments, but all hurdles have now been cleared.
A spokesperson cheerily announced that as of November 19, 2025, the Whopper® has claimed its new Welsh home and is sizzling away for customers. The opening has stirred a variety of reactions among residents—some thrilled for the new option, others wary of how it might affect local traffic flow.
Whether you’re eager to try a flame-grilled classic or just curious to see the new spot after such a long wait, this BK stop is sure to become the talk of the town! 🍟👑
