THE FORMER Burger King restaurant in the High Street which has stood empty for some time will soon be occupied by Magnet Kitchens.

The fast-food chain closed during the first Coronavirus lockdown in March 2020, and never reopened. 

Originally, a British Kitchen retailer, Magnet was acquired by a Swedish-based kitchen company (Nobia) back in 2021 and provides a single point of contact for kitchen design.

The company is currently based in Churchfields, and the move will take place on Thursday, December 15.

Magnet has been approached for comment.
