Get ready, UK! The beloved American fast-food chain Chick-fil-A is making a grand comeback. After a brief stint in 2019, the company is investing a whopping $100 million to expand into the UK market. This time, they’re setting up shop in five new locations, bringing their famous chicken sandwiches and signature hospitality to Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool, and London.
These new restaurants will mark Chick-fil-A’s first foray outside of North America, where it boasts over 3,000 locations. While the exact menu is still under wraps, they’ve confirmed that some of their most popular items, like the iconic original Chicken Sandwich, salads, and Chicken nuggets, will be making the trip across the pond. Fans are hoping the UK menu will also feature their beloved breakfast options, like savory biscuits filled with chicken and hash brown scrambles.
But Chick-fil-A isn’t just bringing its delicious food to the UK. They’re also committed to giving back to the community. The company will donate £25,000 to local non-profit organizations in each area where they open a restaurant. They’ll also be participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program, which directs surplus food to local soup kitchens, shelters, and food banks. This program has already helped create over 7 million meals in the US and Canada, and it’s set to make a positive impact in the UK as well.
Anita Costello, Chief International Officer at Chick-fil-A, Inc. stated: “Serving communities is at the heart of everything we do, and we look forward to bringing Chick-fil-A’s delicious food and signature hospitality to Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool and London, and continuing our long-term investment in the UK. From job creation to supporting local causes, we are excited about the positive impact our first restaurants will have in the communities they serve.”
With a strong online following and a reputation for incredible food, Chick-fil-A’s return to the UK is sure to be met with excitement. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for us!
