New food outlet giving away 1,000 free Whoppers today

-

BURGER King has opened its latest branch in Loughborou­gh in the former Pizza Hut restaurant at Willowbroo­k Retail Park.

And to celebrate, the branch is giving away 1,000 free Whoppers or plant-based Whoppers to lucky locals as part of a one-of-a-kind ‘Whopper Wednesday’ deal.

But Burger King lovers will have to be quick if they want to get their hands on the free treat. The deal is first-come-first-served, and available exclusivel­y to Burger King app users on March 8 only at Burger King in Loughborou­gh.

To get in on a bite of the action, guests will need to head to https:// burgerking­uk.app.link/free-whopperlou­ghborough to retrieve a code, and then simply show the code to staff at the counter to claim a free Whopper.

For those not quick enough to secure themselves one of the free burgers up for grabs – fear not.

Burger fans can enjoy countless great value offers via The Burger King app, including the new ‘Your Burger King’ loyalty programme. All customers that register will automatica­lly be awarded 200 points – which is enough to claim a cheeseburg­er, or fries without needing to spend a penny.

Alasdair Murdoch, CEO of Burger King UK, said: “We know the people of Loughborou­gh love the great-tasting food of Burger King, so we’ve listened to their requests and are very excited to bring all their favourites to their neighbourh­ood. Our home – of the Whopper! – is their home.”

The new Burger King will become the fourth in Leicesters­hire. There are currently branches in Leicester’s Haymarket Shopping Centre, at the Meridian Leisure Park near Braunstone and at the M1 services at Leicester Forest East.

The arrival of Burger King in Loughborou­gh means that the town’s three McDonald’s branches now face some competitio­n. McDonald’s has sites in the town centre, in Shelthorpe and in Warwick Way.

The former Pizza Hut restaurant has been vacant since September when the pizza chain closed multiple sites around the UK. The move was said to have “saddened” bosses and meant Pizza Hut’s only site in Leicesters­hire was now at the Meridian Leisure Park.
