Burger King has confirmed that it will be opening a restaurant in Newtown this year.

The fast-food chain has not revealed where it will be opening its first north Powys site.

Job listings were posted online last week which include crew members, shift leader and site managers.

The job adverts appear to suggest that the new branch will be based in Pool Road, but the exact location has not been confirmed by Burger King.
