American fast-food chain Chick-fil-A is returning to the UK with a $100 million investment, opening five new restaurants across Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool, and London over the next two years. These will be the chain’s first locations outside North America, offering popular menu items like the original Chicken Sandwich, salads, and Chicken nuggets. The company will also be donating to local non-profit organizations in each area and participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table program to combat food waste.

A TikTok user known as Star uploaded a video showing an oddly-shaped chicken nugget from Chick-fil-A, leading to widespread speculation and humor online. Some commenters joked that the nugget resembled an armadillo or even a dinosaur, while the staff at Chick-fil-A claimed it was merely atypically shaped batter. Despite the unusual find, Star reported that the restaurant staff laughed off the incident and provided her with a free meal.
The first Chick-fil-A within Portland city limits is set to open in a former strip club, The Venue Gentleman’s Club. The fast food franchise has obtained permits to convert the building, which has a history of violent incidents, into a fried-chicken sandwich restaurant. The city has approved plans to alter the building’s exterior and add landscaping to the parking lot. The location will not have a drive-thru. The Venue was the site of a fatal shooting in April, and the alleged perpetrator has been arrested.
