FilA planned to launch in the UK in 2025 in a bid to crack the mark
Friday, September 15, 2023
Beloved US Fast Food Chain with 2.800 outlets to open restaurants in Britain after vanishing from roadside.
Chick-fil-a tried to open in Britain in Reading for the first time in 2019 but the store has faced protests from LGBT campaigners over historic remarks by members of its founding family Cathy who spoke out against same-sex marriage.
These include the original Chick-fil-a-Chicken sandwich, freshly prepared salad and nuggets breaded all day long.
Each restaurant will bring around 80-120 new jobs.
Bakery chain Greggs, too, is expanding, with a net 150 stores opening by 2023 - confirming to The Sun last month that it will open eight.
"We are excited our restaurants will bring new jobs and opportunities throughout the UK," said Anita Costello, CEO of Chick-fil-Cola USA.
The move comes as Chick-fil-a opens its first British store in Reading, England, from 2019.
"From our earliest days, we've worked to positively influence the places we call home, and this will be the same for our stores in the UK," - Joanna Symonds
