Herald defines Auckland CBD as 'Central Burger District'
posted on 13th July 2013
The New Zealand Herald has suggested that fast food outlets are taking over what used to be Auckland's main shopping street as retailers are forced out by high rents and inadequate parking. It's the latest in a series of articles the Herald had run on the food sector, including one that called Otara 'fast food alley'.
"The number of fast-food outlets on Queen St has grown to at least 42, which critics say is not helping Kiwis' growing waistline or an $80 million facelift and the efforts of city planners to make it New Zealand's premier retail and business district.
Ten new takeaways have popped up between Britomart and Aotea Square since July 2011 when the Herald last counted.
A new KFC, in a yet-to-be-decided location, will bring the number to at least 43. That's an increase of 30 per cent."
