KFC is opening a location in Moreton on Sept. 20th. The restaurant will serve up KFC's full menu of favorites, including its limited-edition Dirty Lou Burger and Dirty Loaded Fries — in the heart of Moreton town center.

The unit is owned and operated by Gastronomy Restaurants Limited, which as been a KFC franchise partner for almost 20 years. The group recently inked a deal to expand its KFC portfolio over the next five years, growing to over 100 KFC restaurants across the country by 2030.

KFC Moreton has a fresh look, complete with modern interiors, 46 comfy seats for eating in and six quick-order kiosks for customers on the go. There will also be on-site parking and a dedicated waiting area for delivery drivers, creating a convenient experience for customers, team members and drivers.

"The Wirral has always had a strong KFC fanbase, so we're thrilled to be opening our doors in Moreton," Tom Reid, senior acquisition manager at KFC UK & Ireland, said in the press release. "We're expanding right across the UK, and this opening is an exciting step for us here in the North West. With a talented new team ready to go, we can't wait to welcome our first customers very soon."

KFC Moreton joins 10 other KFC restaurants across Merseyside.
