Eastbourne KFC announces it is closing

The fast food restaurant in Langney Road will shut this Sunday (November 17), with staff being offered jobs at surrounding KFCs.

A KFC spokesperson said, “It’s official… our time is up. Langney Road is closing its doors on November 17. We’re sad to be leaving but have offered all our team new roles at surrounding restaurants.

“Local fans craving Original Recipe can head to KFC on Lottbridge Drove.”
