Brand new Starbucks and Burger King drive-thru branches could be coming to Washington.
Plans were submitted to Sunderland City Council earlier this month that would see the creation of the drive-thru coffee chain and fast food restaurant on empty land near Parsons Interchange leading to the A194. If given the go-ahead, two new buildings will be constructed next to each other.
The Armstrong Road site where the drive-thru branches are hoped to go is less than two miles away from a McDonalds and stands across the street from an Aldi Store and a B&Q. The site is also within a close distance to public and private schools, such as the Washington Academy.
