Those driving around Weyburn may have noticed some red fencing on Third Street near the Museum. It's the future site of a brand new Burger King franchise coming to town.

Discover Weyburn has learned the City approved and issued business and building permits to the fast-food chain. The site was surveyed late last week and construction is expected to begin sometime this year. The City is unable to provide updates on behalf of the business.

We reached out to Burger King Canada, but have not heard back. Construction start and finish dates, as well as a grand opening date, are still unknown at this time.

We will provide updates with more information as we learn more.
