Talk:Welcome Break

Announcement!
I moved the recently added sentence about the new Days Inn hotel at Corley to the Corley services page as it is more useful there. As information particular to that service area it did not have a place on the Welcome Break page. Nau03144 (talk) 03:46, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

CEO: John Diviney Welcome Break is a British motorway service station operator that operates 44 motorway service stations in the UK. It is the second-largest motorway service area operator behind Moto. It also operates hotels and motels. It is a subsidiary of Applegreen. Eat In became Welcome Break's own brand self-service restaurant. However, these have since been replaced with food courts, featuring a selection of brands varying from location to location: Subway was opened at 26 Welcome Break sites.' Harry Ramsden's, a UK-based fish and chip restaurant (also offering a range of breakfast to eat in or take away), is included at the majority of sites. Waitrose has franchise stores at most Welcome Breaks. In May 2006, a branch of the international coffeehouse chain Starbucks was opened at Corley services. Starbucks is now located in most Welcome Break services. Welcome Break is a long-standing KFC licensee, operating KFC fast food restaurants at 27 of it’s service areas. In May 2005, Welcome Break announced a deal with KFC designed to bypass tough UK motorway signage legislation. UK law used to prevents motorway service area operators from displaying additional brand names other than their own company name on roadside signage. To circumvent this restriction, a new subsidiary company "Welcome Break KFC" was registered. However now it is legal to have up to 6 logos on motorway service station signs. Burger King restaurants operate at all Welcome Break service stations except Burtonwood and Derby South. Tossed is a healthy food based restaurant chain at selected Welcome Break services. These are Oxford, South Mimms, Birchanger Green, Warwick and Fleet. In 1995, it was announced that they were going to add a McDonald's to every one of the services, but the process was stopped after just two because Forte were acquired by Granada (now Moto), a deal which included Welcome Break and lost out to Burger King being added instead.[citation needed] There is only one McDonald's now, at Fleet services. The branch at Woodall services closed in March 2020. Chopstix, first introduced in August 2016 at Birchanger Green. Now has a few branches at other services. You can also find Ben & Jerry's, Starbucks, Pret, Pizza Express, The Good Breakfast and Krispy Kreme.

Edit Request
Please can the account 'Welcome Break Marketing Team' have access to edit this page. There is a lot of outdated information on this page - for example the number of locations we operate. Another example - the logo was requested to be changed 2 years ago, but was declined due to a 'conflict of interest'. This has not been the company logo for over 3 years now, so it would be great if we could have control to make these necessary updated. Thank you Welcome Break Marketing Team (talk) 14:46, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
