A plan to open a new McDonald's restaurant on a busy North Wales road has been confirmed. The fast food giant has planning in for its latest site in the region.
It will be based at the former Pizza Hut site in Queensferry on Deeside. That restaurant closed last month - only weeks after the brand also left its Wrexham site.
North Wales Live reported last week that McDonald's were tipped to take on the unit on the busy B5129 - close to the A494. At the time the US fast food giant would not confirm it was looking at the site.

But planning applications for various McDonald's signage have now been submitted to planners at Flintshire council. The chain also wants to revamp the old Pizza Hut site.
Planners on the local authority will now consider the proposals but it is expected they will get the go-ahead. McDonald's currently has a restaurant within the nearby Asda store.
The Pizza Hut site that closed in Wrexham is also being taken over by McDonald's.
