There’s a lot on the way for the corner of Elizabeth Drive and Vineyard Road in Sunbury.
Rosenthal Estate has finalised the use of their land on either side of Vineyard Road, filling the area with a range of new restaurants, a fuel station and convenience store and a car wash.
Across from Rosenthal Village will be a KFC, along with another to-be-confirmed business, with construction beginning soon and the fried chicken restaurant up and running by the end of the year.
On the other side of the road will be a Guzman Y Gomez Mexican restaurant, a Carl’s Junior Burgers, a 7-Eleven Service Station and convenience store, an Oporto and a conveyor car wash.
Rosenthal Estate general manager Paul Millett said they had started on the campaign to use the intersection close to two years ago.
“We can offer some great employment opportunities for the local community, provide a diverse food offering in addition to the convenience store and 7-eleven, along with the service station, which is needed this side of Sunbury,” Mr Millett said.
Construction on the finalised stores will commence late this year or in 2023 and open six to eight months afterwards.
“I think overall people are excited by the diversity [of food options] and something coming there and providing that employment opportunity,” Mr Millett said.
“Obviously you can’t please everyone, but we certainly put our best foot forward and overall we’re happy with the selection that is going there.
“However, we do plan on complementing those with other uses surrounding that area,” he said.
