After the premises adjacent
to KFC on Hallett Place
was demolished, the rumour mill has once again stepped into overdrive that
Hungry Jacks is finally coming to Port Lincoln.
It is disappointing,
however, to announce that once again, it is just that; a rumour.
A Hungry Jack’s Spokesperson
confirmed today that “Hungry Jack's does not currently have plans for a new
restaurant in Port Lincoln”.
It is also understood that
the owner of the site, Sarin Property Group, has no plans for an application to
build a Hungry Jacks outlet on the site, nor have any plans been submitted to council for
such development.
If however, someone does
wish to bring the fast food giant to Port Lincoln, I for one would support it.
A Facebook group named
“Hungry Jacks in Port Lincoln”, dedicated to bringing the popular fast food
chain to Port Lincoln, has amassed over 1800 ‘likes’ since it was created back
in 2009, so I get the feeling my views are shared.
The closest Hungry Jacks
outlet to Port Lincoln is located in Whyalla, which means a round trip
exceeding 500km... and one very expensive Whopper!
