Mansfield could soon be hosting another fast food outlet as developers seek permission for a Burger King they say would create 27 jobs. Three branches of McDonald's, three Subways, two KFCs and two Domino's Pizzas are among the fast food eateries already based in Mansfield.
Burger King already has an established drive-thru and restaurant setting in Mansfield, too, but developers now want to build another one. The new restaurant would be based on land at Southwell Road West, a major route out of Mansfield for those living in the south of the town.
Ransom Wood is a 70-acre woodland space that has been home to a restaurant, children's' nursery and several office buildings since being run as a family business park from 1999. As part of its continued development, planning permission was granted in 2020 for three restaurants and a branch of the Enterprise car rental company to be based on land fronting the Ransom Wood Business Park.
