Would rather of had Wendy's or something that we don't already have
Shields Gazette readers have reacted to KFC coming to Boldon Colliery.
In November, planning officers at South Tyneside Council approved the installation of KFC signage at the former Tim Hortons site, on Abingdon Way, in Boldon Colliery.
Some readers took to social media to welcome the news of KFC taking over the vacant premises, while others would have liked to have seen other chains take over from Tim Hortons.
This is what you had to say via the Shields Gazette Facebook page:
Sharon Savage: “Disappointed, would rather have a Costa than KFC.”
Janet Haswell: “Popeyes would of been better - the chicken is 100 percent better than KFC.
Tia Savage: “I can see my bank transactions changing from McDonald’s to KFC.
John Hull: “Tim Hortons didn't stay open long!”
Susan Fletcher: “I have never eaten anything from these fast food joints who appear to use foreign battery hens.”
Steve Blake: “Would rather of had Wendy's or something that we don't already have lots of.”
Laura Sutton: “Would have preferred Five Guys or something a little more uncommon.”
Anthony Brew: “More junk food.”
Fallyn Kinsella: “I would have preferred to have Popeyes since their chicken is amazing, KFC is just meh.”
