A new Burger King has officially opened in Lancashire.

After months of anticipation, the fast food giant has finally arrived in Lancaster, and to celebrate the opening of the new restaurant, Burger King is giving away 1,000 free Whoppers.

The new branch will be giving away the Whoppers® or Plant-based Whoppers® to lucky locals as part of a one-of-a-kind “Whopper® Wednesday” deal.

But Burger King lovers will have to be quick if they want to get their hands on the free treat as the deal is based on a first-come-first-served, and available exclusively to Burger King® app users on Wednesday only.

Alasdair Murdoch, CEO of Burger King® UK said: “We know the people of Lancaster love the great-tasting food of Burger King, so we’ve listened to their requests and are very excited to bring all their favourites to their neighbourhood. Our home – of the Whopper! – is their home.”

The brand-new restaurant, located on Cheapside in the city has also created 25 new jobs in the area.

To receive a free Whopper on Wednesday, burger lovers will need to head to https://burgerkinguk.app.link/lancaster-free-whopper to retrieve a code, and then show the code to staff at the counter to claim their free treat.

For those not quick enough to secure themselves one of the free burgers up for grabs, they can still enjoy countless great value offers via the Burger King® app, including the new ‘Your Burger King’ loyalty programme. All customers that register will automatically be awarded 200 points – which is enough to claim a cheeseburger, or fries without needing to spend a penny.
