KFC To Create Dozens Of Full Or Part Time Jobs In Telford

American fast food restaurant chain KFC is to create dozens of new full or part time jobs in Telford over the coming months.

Between 80 and 100 Telford jobs will be created as a KFC franchisee opens a second restaurant in the town and refurbs an existing branch.

The KFC in Telford’s Wrekin Retail Park will be treated to an overhaul and will reopen before the end of the year, while a second restaurant will be added on Rampart Way towards the end of November.

Gastronomy Restaurants manages both of the KFC franchises in Telford. Commenting on the recruitment drive, the company’s Managing Director, Russ Smith, said: “The two projects will create 80 new jobs in the local area with around 20 more new posts being filled by our team members working in Telford at the moment.”

“We’re due to open a brand new restaurant in Rampart Way on November 27 this year and we are giving our Wrekin Retail Park restaurant a refresh. We’re biased, but we reckon there’s nothing better than a fresh, shiny, new KFC restaurant, so we’ve decided to close our Wrekin Retail Park restaurant for a bit of a refresh.”

“It won’t just be a 60-minute makeover though. We’re planning to reopen in early December. We promise it’ll be well worth the wait,” added Mr Smith.

Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member with special responsibility for Finance, Commercial Services & Economic Development, Councillor Lee Carter, welcomed the announcement, saying: “The creation of these jobs is brilliant news for Telford and means more inward investment in the retail sector. It is good for the borough’s economy and means another existing business has been able to expand.”
