Thanks for that -
In Manchester, the first restaurant opened in Piccadilly in 1958, offering untold numbers of Mancunians their first taste of American-style fast food. For years, Wimpy was the go-to burger joint in the UK, long before the big chains such as
McDonald's, Five Guys and Burger King began to dominate our high streets.
By 1970, Wimpy was a global favourite with more than 1,000 outlets in 23 countries around the world - including many in Greater Manchester. The restaurants were seen as "cool" places for teenagers and young adults to hang-out and socialise.
We went to the one in Birkenhead but it was closed, Huddersfield next then
I liked the way the cut the sausages, the chips were better than McD's and we got eggs
