Fast food flurry
MAJOR international retailers and restaurant chains are moving into the centre of Benidorm, changing the town’s personality. In the wake of the arrival of McDonald’s in Plaza de la Hispanidad, known to most people as the Plaza Triangular, local businesses are being replaced by multinational names. The next one to open will be fast food restaurant Popeyes, which will open in Calle Valencia. This will be the fourth Popeyes to open in the region.
The restaurant is expected to open by this summer. However, the owners have not yet obtained planning permission to make the necessary changes to the premises, a 170squaremetre restaurant with a terrace, which is in an excellent position to attract passing traffic between the centre and the Levant beach.
There is already an American fast food restaurant in the square, KFC, which has taken over premises once occupied by Crevillentbased clothing firm Koala Bay.
At the same time, the coffee shop Starbucks is now installed in what was once the Cafetería Center Plaza.
