Poll: Should Tīrau get a Burger King and Starbucks?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The South Waikato town of Tīrau could be in line for a corporate fast food takeover if consent is given for the building of a Starbucks and Burger King on the main drag though town.

But, some locals don’t think the corporate giants are the right fit for the town known for its boutique cafes, antique shops and corrugated iron inspired art works and facades.

What do you think? Would you want to see these fast food outlets on State Highway 1 in Tīrau? (Please add NFP if you do not want your comments to be used in print.)
