Construction of the new Burger King is well under way, and Ampler Burger reps confirmed the new store should be completed by the first week of February.

Nick Boyle, vice president of development and construction for Ampler Burger, said the store’s soft opening will occur shortly after the project is completed.

In the meantime, the company is also focusing on the grand reopening of one of its other 41 stores, its new Temple location, said Matthew Bars, Director of Operations for Ampler.

“We will likely celebrate our grand re-opening of the new and improved Copperas location in early March,” Bars said.

“We will of course go all out on the grand re-opening day and plan to have music, face painters, balloon artist, raffle giveaways, free food samples and a little something special for the first 100 dine-in guests.
“Our goal is to invite city officials and dignitaries for the ribbon cutting to commemorate this awesome event.  The remodel of this location was overdue and the work that Nick and his team have put into the design will show Copperas Cove just how much we appreciate the opportunity to serve them.”
