Leon to roll out drive-thru restaurants
Leon has today unveiled plans for its first drive-thru restaurant, in what should be the first step of a new expansion plan.
The healthy fast food chain’s first drive-thru restaurant will in open in West Yorkshire later this year.
The new restaurant will be 2,000 square feet and create 30 new jobs for the area.
Leon said it hoped the expansion into drive-thru will make it easier for more people to eat well on the move.
The new drive-thru restaurant will be supplied with power from a renewable energy source, and there will be electric charging and bike racks in the parking area.
Leon said this is the first of many planned drive-thru openings and the start of a focused and accelerated UK expansion, with additional locations already identified.
Nick Ayerst, managing director at Leon said: “This is a significant milestone for Leon. We’ve been discussing the first Leon drive-thru with [owner] EG Group for five years now, and we’re excited to open in West Yorkshire later this year. We have three other Leons in the surrounding area and we’ve received such a warm welcome from locals, who tell us they love our naturally fast food.
“We receive lots of emails and tweets every week asking us to open even more restaurants in the north, and we hope this opening signifies that there are many more to come.”
