A McDonald's branch could open in Great Barr

Restaurant chiefs are hoping to build the branch on the former Buffett Island on Queslett Road, Great Barr, which closed down in 2020.

The multi-million pound proposals would see 120 restaurant jobs created with a consultation being launched to gauge residents' views on it.

Emma Fisher, senior acquisition surveyor at McDonald’s said: "We are excited to bring forward the proposals to regenerate the former Buffet Island site with a new, attractive, and sustainable drive-thru restaurant. Our proposals seek to deliver choice for customers, whilst being mindful and considerate of existing neighbours and residents in Queslett.
