Video Summary:
Burger King is set to open its doors by May 1 in a new plaza in Newmarket and reporter Elizabeth Keith from NewmarketToday provides the latest update on the community's excitement for the new addition. The plaza has been in the works for quite some time, and since January, people have been getting wind that Burger King will be one of the tenants moving into the space. The community has been very vocal on local Facebook groups, with many people expressing their excitement and nostalgia for the fast-food chain, which hasn't been in the area for several years, if not more than a decade.

With only a few weeks left until opening day, the community's anticipation for the new Burger King continues to grow.
