DESCRIBED as one of the country’s favourite doughnuts, Krispy Kreme, has secured planning permission for a drive-thru kiosk close to Warrington town centre.
Warrington Borough Council planners have approved proposals for the drive-thru facility on the existing car park on School Brow Retail Park.
The application seeks planning permission for the reconfiguration of part of the existing car park to allow the erection of a drive-thru kiosk, together with associated drive-thru ordering lane and other association physical works, including provision of new landscaping and electric vehicle charging points.
The company already has three outlets in the town at the Welcome Break Services at Burtonwood, Tesco in the town centre and ASDA at Birchwood.
The application site is part of the existing surface-level car park which serves the wider School Brow Retail Park and
contains a total of 22 car parking spaces. To the north of the site is Manchester Road. To the west of the site is further car parking and 68 School Brow which is a locally listed building and is now vacant. In the past 68 School Brow appears to have been a restaurant and was formerly the Brickmakers Arms Public House. Further west are retail units which include Farmfoods.
To the east of the site is the access road School Brow, beyond which is the Sainsbury Supermarket and to the south of the site is the delivery access to the rear of Sainsbury’s.
Vehicular Access to the retail park is currently provided from Hopwood Street via School Brow, Crossley Street and Manchester Road.
The proposal seeks to have the Krispy Kreme kiosk and drive-thru lane within the eastern section of the car park which currently consists of parking spaces. Eight car parking spaces will be converted to eight electric vehicle charging spaces.
The kiosk will not include customer seating with all food consumed off-site via customer collection points. There will be no cooking of food goods on site and the kioks will operate like a small retail unit similar to a Starbucks of Costa coffee.
The proposals will result in the loss of 22 existing car parking spaces.
There were no objections to the application.

Apparently thy don’t accept cash – another globalist, surveillance, totalitarian, American (digital) dystopia, high calorie nightmare from the very ‘Kreme’ of George Orwell’s darkest recesses of mind.
