No it doesn't matter that he is manx other than its important than I was correcting something posted that was incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may or may not have been correct but that poster is only parroting the tone used by the previous one. I was under the impression it is the Starbucks & Dominos guy too. I heard he's got some in Jersey also. Maybe he's just not gone in 100% on it. Would make sense to share potentially with a big existing KFC operator.

Now Road users have to pay the consequences. Would it have been better located up in Spring Valley near the Business Park? Didnt they close the restaurant part last night and make it only drive through as people were just parking near neighbouring businesses and walking in Is that going to be permanent? Or did they open the restaurant part again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get in as the drive through queue is usually out onto the main road so it is just easier and quicker to park up walk in and get your food.

Roger Mexico Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 20 minutes ago, 2112 said: Help or interference? Practical support or make life unbearable so the operation closes? Well if their business model involves people queuing round the block like that, then it probably ought to. But in practice they would presumably prefer to have the level of custom that they could cope with on the site. The people you have to feel sorry for are the surrounding business whose trade will be affected and parking taken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that people going to the gym or that plumbing shop/ wine cellar etc were not able to get parking spaces due to the "KFC crowd" yesterday. So they were all losing business. I'm not sure if they opened the restaurant part of KFC again today but last night it was drive through only Edited June 21 by mad_manx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quicker now to use the app. Have done what you did and waited half an hour the last couple of times I've been in. Took me 15 minutes using the app the other night and didn't have to leave the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I'm surprised nobody has opened a genuine fast food takeaway in Strand Street. The ones that are there generally only open late at night on weekends. A McDonalds or similar would clean up in town. Looking at available property and rents though it's perhaps not surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greek/Med Kebab and Thai places just opened opposite Marksies. Their fresh Falafel wrap is worth a taste. Was almost a North African one where the Thai place is, but apparently they didn't get proper planning changes in place changing it from Travel Agent in time.
