THE OPENING of the new 100-seater McDonald’s in St Clears has been delayed by a week.
The restaurant, which will be built along the main approach road to Pembrokeshire, aimed to open its doors on Wednesday, January 19.
However, the company has confirmed that the opening has been postponed until Wednesday, January 26.
The new McDonald’s will join Haverfordwest and Pembroke Dock McDonald’s as the only members of the company located west of Carmarthen.
It hoped to provide over 80 full and part time jobs due to being open around the clock. They hosted a recruitment day in December 2021.
The original applications had previously stated that the McDonald’s would be open 24 hours a day. A premises licence application is currently being made to the County Council for the “provision of late-night refreshments” which, if accepted, would allow the restaurant to be open 24 hours a day.
It will open on the opposite side of the road to Travelodge and Starbucks, which replaced the Little Chef restaurant in 2017.
The restaurant was initially going to include a separate building which would have accommodated a Costa Coffee. However, it will now host a Greggs.
Alongside this, planning permission has been granted separately for a petrol station with six electric charging points.
