Holly Lamm | The Elkin Tribune

The Burger King at 1403 North Bridge Street is undergoing some renovations. The building that was originally built in 1984 to bring the flame-broiled burger to Elkin is undergoing its face lift from Abbot Construction out of Asheville, but it is utilizing local resources from AllStar Rentals. “The upgrades are going on inside and outside,” said Store Manager David Phillips. Renovations are scheduled to be done on Black Friday, Nov. 30.
