April Fool's Day: OTR plans four new Murray Bridge outlets
The company has made a surprising announcement on the morning of April 1, 2021.
On the Run will build a service station on Mannum Road, completing its domination of the main routes into Murray Bridge, the South Australian company has announced.
More surprisingly, it also plans to build outlets on Rocky Gully Road, Maurice Road and Brinkley Road, âjust to be sureâ.
But the Mannum Road store will be the pick of the bunch.
Situated next to the railway line, it will also feature a drive-through window where passing train drivers will be able to pick up Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
