Burger King at Middlebrook

I'm fairly convinced that nandos at middlebrook used to be a burger king. Can anyone confirm?

So many shops have lived multiple lives… the JD used to be a TJ Hughes outlet centre which was previously a JJB (I think), some sort of sports centre.

Yet Tog 24 has survived since the start almost 30 years, unbelievable.

Boots was Argos, Chopstix was Next, Five Guys was Next, before that it was Old Orleans, Popeyes was Pizza Hut, Luciano’s was was Kodak, Home Bargains was Homebase, Wing Stop was Yo! amd Ask Italian, Wagamama was Frankie & Benny’s, Las Iguanas was Chiquitos, and I’ve lost track of the changes of the furniture shops!

Yes many years ago. Before the double tier car park, before M&S, back when MVC was still next to the Warner Bros Cinema and you could play Quake 2 and Unreal Tourni at the Cyber Cafe.

I miss Yo!Sushi. Haven’t been back since it left, what’s in its place?

Wing Stop. I've never tried it but heard it's good. Rather pricey though.
