KFC in Newtown made the unexpected announcement with a banner hanging outside the Pool Road site.

The chicken restaurant, which is opposite McDonald's, was opened in 2016 with the creation of around 50 jobs.

In a statement on the closure a KFC spokesman said: “It’s been a great run, but all good things must come to an end, so on Sunday we’re closing our doors for good at KFC Newtown.

"We’ll miss our loyal fans but never say never to a restaurant opening nearby in the future.”
