CHAMPION V8 Supercar driver Jason Bargwanna has swapped the fast lane for fast food.
The Bathurst winner has decided to retire from full-time driving and has now invested in two local Red Rooster stores at Hampton Park and Fountain Gate.
Mr Bargwanna took over the Hampton Park store last weekend, and will take ownership of the Narre Warren store next week.
This Sunday the Hampton Park Shopping Centre will be celebrating the stage two opening of its redevelopment with a carnival type event, and Mr Bargwanna will be in store as part of the celebrations signing autographs and having a chat with fans.
The centre has undergone modernisation works, with a number of new business included into the mix.
The festivities will take place from 10am and 3pm at the centre with live musical performances, carnival rides, free fairy floss, popcorn, face painting, animal farm and roving entertainers.
