The fast food chain has also confirmed new extended opening hours as part of the announcement.

To celebrate the opening, Burger King has said the first 1,000 customers to arrive on the first day can get free Whopper or Chicken Royale burgers.

A further offer will see the 100th customer able to win a year’s supply of Burger King food from the site.

The newly revamped South Tyneside restaurant brings new in-restaurant customer experience improvements such as table service.

Donna, Restaurant Manager at Burger King UK, said: “We’re delighted to open the doors of our newly refreshed Jarrow restaurant and welcome back familiar faces alongside new customers. The makeover has completely elevated the space, and we can’t wait for people to see it for themselves.”

Burger King has also confirmed extended opening hours for the location. Once opening day arrives it will be open from 10am until 10pm from Sunday to Wednesday and 10am until 11pm between Thursday and Saturday.

Customers can also order delivery via the Burger King app and delivery apps. This includes brands such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo and JustEat.

In addition to the free food deals available to the first customers through the door, the brand is also offering cheaper food throughout the half term period. Guests can claim a free King Jr Meal with any qualifying adult meal at participating restaurants until Friday, May 29. This meal includes a burger or nuggets alongside a drink and dip.

The store is South Tyneside’s only Burger King store. Fans of the brand have been required to travel to Ryhope Road in Sunderland or Trinity Square in Gateshead while work on the Jarrow store was completed.

Customers will be able to order from the full food menu at 10am on Wednesday with traditional favourites including the brand’s famous Whopper meals on offer.
