Fans love the range of quick and healthy options
It is believed the new branch will take over an empty unit next to the town's Odeon cinema.
Bosses have vowed to "share more details soon" and are "excited" to welcome diners — who previously had to travel 20 miles to the closest grill at Silverburn shopping centre in Glasgow's Pollok.
One fan said: "I can't wait.
"I'm going to be there literally every day."

Another added: "No more waiting for the bus for my fix.
"It's about time we got Nando's in Killie."
A third said: "Winner, winner chicken dinner."
Nando's started in South Africa and has expanded into 30 countries with more than 1,200 sites worldwide.

Named after the son of founder Fernando Duarte, it is famous for its sauces and marinades, from mild sweet barbecue up to extra hot.
Nando's looks set to take over the building left empty when Italian restaurant Tony Macaroni closed last July.

The unit had previously been home to Frankie and Benny's.

Mike Lynch's superyacht seen on the surface for the first time since it sank
Seven people died when the Bayesian sank off the Italian island on August 19, including billionaire Mr Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18. The 56-metre (184ft) yacht was seen being held in an upright position by one of Europe's most powerful sea cranes near the fishing town of Porticello on Saturday morning. Hannah and Mike Lynch (Family handout) A project insider told the PA news agency: 'The vessel is on surface, but not clear of the sea as yet. 'Pumping out of water will continue, and it will be lunchtime – following a series of lifting and resting procedures – before she will finally be fully and finally out of the water.' Salvage workers could be seen on the vessel, which is covered in mud and algae, while the canopy and guard rails are mangled. Investigators in the UK and Italy say raising the vessel is crucial to fully understanding what happened. The yacht's 72-metre (236ft) mast was cut off on Tuesday using a remote-controlled tool and rested on the seabed to be picked up later. Tech tycoon Mike Lynch's superyacht the Bayesian is lifted to the surface (Peter Byrne/PA) Over the last few days, salvage teams have worked to ease the hull into an upright position and give access to the yacht's right side, which had previously been lying flat on the seabed 50 metres below the surface. The vessel is expected to be brought to Termini Imerese – where Italian prosecutors investigating the sinking are based, and on Monday it will be lifted on to a specially made steel cradle on the quayside. It was originally expected to be raised last month, but salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9, prompting greater use of remote-controlled equipment. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation, which began last month. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals. Marine Accident Investigation Branch investigators said in an interim report that the Bayesian was knocked over by 'extreme wind'. The yacht had a vulnerability to winds, but the owner and crew would not have known, the report said. The Bayesian is lifted to the surface (Peter Byrne/PA) US lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo, and Canadian-Antiguan national Recaldo Thomas, who was working as a chef on the vessel, also died in the sinking. Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued. Mr Lynch and his daughter were said to have lived in the vicinity of London and the Bloomers lived in Sevenoaks in Kent. The tycoon founded software giant Autonomy in 1996 and was cleared in June last year of carrying out a massive fraud over the sale of the firm to Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2011. The boat trip was a celebration of his acquittal in the case in the US.
