The very first Belgian branch of Burger King will open soon in Bruges. The fast food outlet will take the place of the Quick hamburger restaurant on the city's main square.

The takeover plans were already made public in the summer of 2016, but exact details about when and where Burger King would open new outlets in Belgium were still unclear. While some of Quick's restaurants will to continue to exist, others will change into Burger Kings.

The exact date of the Burger King opening in Bruges is not yet known.
