KFC is set to reopen one of its branches in North Wales this week.
The fast food retailer began closing its stores on March 23 following the government's decision to place the UK on lockdown.
At that time, KFC said that it wanted to "protect the wellbeing and safety" of staff and customers, and confirmed that the temporary closures would be "until further notice."
It was then revealed earlier this month (April 16) that eleven stores would reopen as part of an initial phase, including two sites in Manchester.
The chain is however offering a "limited menu" to customers and service is delivery-only, available through Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats for those who live near one of the restaurants.
In a statement about reopening stores, KFC explained: "To do this in the right way, we’ve put new processes in place and stepped up our already stringent hygiene measures.
"We’re serving a limited menu, which means we can have a smaller kitchen team to maintain social distancing."
The company added that its staff would return on an "opt-in basis" to ensure those who weren't comfortable returning to work could remain at home.
Earlier today though (April 27), a food delivery driver in North Wales - who did not want to be named - shared correspondence regarding the reopening of a local branch.
He had received an email, which we understand is from Uber Eats, that confirmed the Wrexham store will reopen on Wednesday (April 29) - but for deliveries only.
The email states that delivery firms are working with KFC to "minimise contact" to help drivers and restaurant staff stay safe, offering a number of additional safety tips.
This includes drivers maintaining a 2 metre distance from staff when collecting deliveries, as well as recommending "cleaning your delivery equipment," such as the vehicle itself.
It is unknown whether other local branches will reopen this week.
North Wales Live approached KFC for comment.
