A FAST food chain in Reading town centre has extended its reopening date again, after "significant" damage after a nearby fire.
According to McDonald's website, its Friar Street branch was due to reopen on August 1 after a two-month refurbishment but was extended to the "end of August".
The reopening date has been extended again to September 20.
The town centre restaurant was forced to close its doors on May 26, after a devasting fire above CMart supermarket.
A spokesperson from McDonald's confirmed that the store has "suffered significant water and smoke damage as a result of a fire".
A total of 50 firefighters, 10 fire engines, one aerial compliance and one command vehicle were used to tackle the blaze above CMart on May 26.
Union Street entrance onto Friar Street has since reopened and most Union Street businesses are back open.
