LEON soon to cater to travelling public
The fast food chain will be available on the UK motorway in time for the summer.
LEON has signed a franchise deal with Roadchef, which will commence the first of the company’s roadside stalls with more stores to open over the next five years.
The landmark agreement is part of Roadchef’s drive to offer the UK’s travelling public a wider choice that mirrors the diversity found on the high street. The company operates 30 service area sites across the UK, with around 52 million motorists visiting every year.
“We strive to offer our customers a range of different food options to refuel while travelling that will refresh, revive and reinvigorate them so they can continue on their journeys safely,” said Roadchef CEO Simon Turl.
LEON Managing Director John Upton added, “We’re thrilled to be working with Roadchef and taking LEON onto the motorways of Britain. At LEON we want to help everyone eat well and live well. We have always said we want LEON to be where it was most needed – either on the high street or easy to find when you’re out and about. This new partnership with Roadchef will help us provide fun, fast, fresh LEON food to the millions of people who use our motorways every day.”
The new LEON restaurants will see nearly 60 jobs being created at both Roadchef sites and will contribute towards Highways England and the Department of Transport’s initiative to encourage MSA operators to focus on the wellbeing of motorway users in the UK.
