History[]
The origins of the Rustington Little Chef began in the 1980s, when a business park was planned here. As part of the development, Store Property Investments outlined land to become a petrol station and restaurant. This planned restaurant would interest Forte, who planned to make the restaurant a Little Chef and the petrol station their partner brand Shell.
Forte opened the petrol station and the Little Chef in June 1991. A Travelodge followed soon after.
The Little Chef lasted until 2011, when the restaurant became one of Little Chef owners Kout Food's Burger King-only sites. A Subway would later join in 2017, in the former Little Chef space.
Upon their purchase of Little Chef, Euro Garages would close the building in mid 2018 - intending to add a Greggs to the lineup. However, the addition of Greggs was hampered by objections from various parties. As a consequence, the building was left empty.
The building would finally reopen in February 2019, with it featuring a new Burger King and Subway.
