The McDonald's fast-food restaurant in Belfast city centre is set to close.

The outlet in the food quarter of Victoria Square will shut its doors as early as next week.

Staff were informed of the closure in recent days and a sign has been placed on the door to inform customers.

In a statement to Belfast Live, a spokesperson for McDonald's said: "We are sad to confirm that our Victoria Square restaurant in Belfast will close on the 18th February, which will be the final day of trading.

"The decision to close the restaurant was not taken lightly, all members of staff have been made aware and will be offered employment in other restaurants including the nearby McDonald’s Donegall Place restaurant which recently underwent an extensive restaurant refurbishment.”
