Smithfield Burger King looks to remodel – Smithfield Times – Smithfield Times

Published 9:24 am Thursday, January 4, 2024

Burger King is planning renovations to its Smithfield restaurant.

Landowner CCJ LLC of Williamsburg and applicant David Burdette of Raleigh, North Carolina, have filed for an entrance corridor overlay review, which will go to Smithfields Planning Commission on Jan. 9.

The Burger King is located within the Smithfield Plaza shopping center off Benns Church Boulevard, one of five roads that forms the towns entrance corridor overlay district. Businesses looking to build or renovate within 500 feet of the road are required under Smithfields zoning ordinance to use materials appropriate to town character as determined by the eight-member Planning Commission.

The application proposes to leave much of the stone veneer that covers the buildings lower portion, save for areas surrounding the entrance and drive-thru window, which are slated to be covered in fiber siding patterned to resemble wood. The proposed renovations would also entail removing and squaring off the blue mansard roof overhang and replacing the restaurants lighted signage with an updated logo.

The interior public areas are also to be remodeled and the restaurants parking lot is to be resurfaced. The restaurants drive-thru is to remain open during the renovations.
