BizBeat: Second Burger King delays opening

Jefferson City's soon-to-be second Burger King has delayed its opening slightly, with the fast-food restaurant projected to open a month from today.

Scott Huhn, district manager for Burger King's Missouri market, originally estimated the new location at 1923 Christy Drive would open in mid-November, but after city permits took longer than planned, he expects it to open Dec. 15.

The new Burger King on Christy Drive will operate in addition to the existing Burger King at 2207 Missouri Blvd., which Huhn has said will be remodeled in 2016.

The restaurant's second Jefferson City location is expected to add about 20 jobs.
