Popular fast food chain set to take over former Tim Hortons site in Boldon
A popular fast food chain is coming to Boldon Colliery.
Planning officers at South Tyneside Council have approved the installation of KFC signage at the former Tim Hortons site, on Abingdon Way, in Boldon Colliery.
It is understood that Tim Hortons closed to members of the public immediately in October and now there looks set to be a new tenant at the site.
The approved planning permission will allow for KFC signage to be placed both internally and externally at the site.
This signage includes ‘herbs and spices’ vinyl, a KFC totem sign, a KFC drive-thru height restrictor, a KFC drive-thru order point, KFC-themed traffic directional signs, and more.
The planning application states: “This application seeks advertisement consent to display various building and site signage, associated with one commercial unit within Boldon Leisure Park to the east of Abingdon Way, Boldon Colliery.
“The proposed totem sign and double-sided billboard are proposed to be located on land that is currently adopted highway, while the remaining signage would be on land out with the highway.
“Retail units in the immediate area all display illuminated and non-illuminated signage.”
That application now looks to be redundant following the decision to approve signage for the fast food chain at the now-vacant Tim Hortons site.
