Chick-fil-A announces first UK locations

The brand confirms opening in Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool and London.

Chick-fil-A has announced that it is opening in Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool, and London, marking its first UK locations.

Chick-fil-A plans to open five restaurants, both licensed and locally owned and operated models, across the U.K. in the first two years.

“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 U.K.,” said Anita Costello, Chief International Officer at Chick-fil-A, Inc. “From job creation to supporting local causes, we are excited about the positive impact our first restaurants will have in the communities they serve.”

Most Chick-fil-A restaurants will be owned by local, independent Owner-Operators. Chick-fil-A Owner-Operators are small business owners, not passive investors, who are highly engaged in their businesses and within their communities. Each local Owner-Operator will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of the business – from hiring and developing their Team Members to connecting with guests, cultivating relationships with local organisations and businesses, and tailoring philanthropic efforts to meet the local community’s needs.  

Chick-fil-A first announced its opening in the UK last year, with the brand planning to invest $100m in the next 10 years for its growth.
