PROPOSALS have been lodged for Greggs to take on a premises in Caernarfon formerly occupied by KFC.

The site, at 1-3 Pool Street, housed the fried chicken franchise for more than two decades, before it closed its store there for “commercial reasons” in January 2020.

This news came just weeks after the branch became the target of anti-social behaviour by “out of control youths”.

A 48-hour dispersal order was subsequently placed imposed on Caernarfon’s town centre.

It has been closed since then, but on August 22, an application was submitted to Gwynedd Council for KFC to advertise at the property.

Gwynedd Council has until September 14 to consider the application.

It follows a similar application in Prestatyn, where Greggs is hoping to open at the town’s Parc Prestatyn Shopping Park.

Greggs, founded in 1939, now has more than 2,000 outlets.
