Burger King is poised to join the list of businesses in Coral Springs that have gone green.

At a recent City Commission meeting, officials approved a petition for Burger King Corp. to build its first LEED certified restaurant in the city. Located at the intersection of Sample Road and Coral Springs Drive, the Burger King was built in 1977. The existing building will be demolished and a smaller and ‘greener’ restaurant will come up in it place.

The proposed Burger King drive-thru restaurant will be approximately 2,700 square feet. The existing one is more than 3,000 square feet.
