Chick-fil-A Confirms First Permanent UK Restaurant in Leeds, Sets Singapore Opening for Late 2025

The push leans on local owner-operators with long-term spending after a rocky 2019 UK pilot.

Overview

  • Leeds will open in autumn 2025 as the chain’s first permanent site in Great Britain, with Singapore slated for late 2025 as its entry point to Asia.
  • Chick-fil-A committed to invest more than $100 million in the UK over the next decade and about $75 million in Singapore over ten years.
  • The company targets five UK restaurants by 2027, building out a renewed presence that follows two openings in Northern Ireland earlier this year.
  • Each new international restaurant is expected to create roughly 70 to 120 local jobs under the brand’s owner-operator model.
  • Local operators have been named for the first sites: Mike Hoy in Leeds and Singapore native Chyn Koh in Singapore.
