Chick-fil-A will open its first global restaurants in the UK and Singapore in 2025.

Overview

  • Leeds will host the company’s first permanent restaurant in Great Britain this autumn, with local owner-operator Mike Hoy leading the site.
  • Singapore will see its first Chick-fil-A open in late 2025, led by local owner-operator Chyn Koh as the brand enters Asia.
  • Chick-fil-A targets five U.K. locations by 2027 as part of a broader commitment to establish a long-term presence.
  • The company plans to invest more than $100 million in the U.K. over 10 years and about $75 million in Asia over the same period.
  • Each new restaurant is expected to create roughly 70 to 120 jobs, with the U.K. push following two Belfast openings earlier in 2025 and a past 2019 Reading pilot that faced protests over the company’s prior donations.
