Former KFC could be turned into bar
The former KFC on Queen Square, Wolverhampton, could be turned into a bar
- Published
A former KFC restaurant in Wolverhampton city centre could be transformed into a bar.
Plans have been lodged with the city council proposing to turn the vacant site at 25 and 26 Queen Square into a "drinking establishment".
The planning application submitted by Andy Evans, the founder of Codsall Beer Festival, said the aim was to "create a welcoming place where like-mined people can have a drink, meet up, chat and listen to live music".
The venue would also work with community groups with a view to hosting events, a planning document said.
It added that most pubs and bars in the city were open from midday until midnight but the applicant said the site would like to have flexibility to open later for private events or live music.
The proposed site has been vacant since KFC departed in 2019.
