“We look forward to great success at this location and working with New River Retail and serving the community for many years to come.”

Burger King used to have a restaurant on Central Drive in Morecambe but it closed several years ago. The Arndale, built in 1972, is in the midst of a major refurbishment.

Owner NewRiver Retail is working with Morecambe-born designer Wayne Hemingway and his firm Hemingway Design on a “reimagining” of the shopping centre. This includes new public toilets and artistic decor both inside and out.
