A Wimpy superfan is visiting every branch in the UK to raise funds for a cancer charity. Anthony Zupnik, 36, fell in love with the fast-food franchise on a trip to one in Worthing for his fifth birthday. From that moment on, Anthony, a software developer from Angmering, became Wimpy’s "biggest fan".
In honour of his life-long obsession, he has embarked on a 2,400-mile tour of all 64 branches in the UK. Anthony describes himself as 'Wimpy's biggest fan' after he fell in love with the chain at five years old (Image: Anthony Zupnik) Anthony, whose favourite Wimpy meal is a quarter pounder and chips, said: “It was brilliant to revisit my hometown Wimpys and the tour so far is going really well. I’ve had a fantastic reception from all of the owners and workers.
“I am determined to prove I am Wimpy’s biggest fan and to raise as much money as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust, so that they can help many more young people with cancer.” READ MORE: Burgess Hill 'rotting from the inside out' as Costa closes Anthony visited the Worthing and Littlehampton branches on July 8 and 9 in the second week of his challenge. He has ordered the same meal for 30 years but has endeavoured to push the boat out and try as many items on the menu as possible.
