The new Maidstone restaurant will be the second in the county.

Soon after, a sign of the chain was placed where the old TSB hanging logo once sat.

The bank shut down in 2022 and the unit had been vacant since.

The closure was a result of TSB shutting down a number of its branches following the pandemic.

Customer habits changed as people turned to online banking during lockdown, leading to reduced footfall when stores opened after.
