14:00, 08 April 2023
A burger chain promising a "true taste of America" is looking to open up its first branch in Kent.
US food chain 12th Street has applied for planning permission from Medway Council to transform an empty store in Chatham Dockside.
It is hoping to open inside the vacant unit between pizza chain Fireaway and fast food franchise Taco Bell along The Quays, Dock Head Road.
12th Street claim to be the "only place to get a true taste of America" and is known for its giant 100% Angus beef smash burgers.
Menu items also include chicken burgers, wings, loaded fries, onion rings, breakfast options, milkshakes and sweet treats.
It does not have any branches in the county currently with the closest branches in Southend or Romford, Essex.
Permission has been sought from Medway Council for the installation of shop signs outside the unit in Jetty 5, Chatham Maritime.
The planning statement reads: "The food offer will provide additional choice and service to visitors to Chatham Quays.
"This development is for advertisement consent and therefore minor in nature."
You can view the planning application here or by searching for reference MC/23/0624 on the council website.
A decision date has not yet been set.
