Fast Food Chains Expanding in the UK: A New Era for Chicken Lovers
The UK's fast food landscape is about to undergo a significant transformation, as several popular American chicken chains are setting their sights on our shores. Here's a rundown of the exciting developments that are set to shake up the British fast food industry.
Chick-fil-A's UK Debut
Chick-fil-A, the iconic US fast food chain known for its delicious chicken sandwiches, has already made a splash in the UK. The chain opened its first UK restaurants earlier this year in Northern Ireland and has since attracted a considerable following. In fact, their London location has been drawing over 1,000 customers a day since opening.
Chick-fil-A is planning to expand further, with plans to launch locations in Leeds, Liverpool, and London as part of a £74million push. The chain is also responsible for its UK presence and operations, as it is expanding directly into the UK market without a separate local operating organization.
Dave's Hot Chicken's Success
Dave's Hot Chicken, another popular US chain, has also found success in the UK. Partnering with Azzurri Group, they plan to open 180 restaurants across Europe, including in the UK. Their London location has been particularly successful, attracting a steady stream of customers since opening.
Popeyes' UK Expansion
Popeyes, another US fast food giant, opened 33 locations in the UK last year and has plans to expand to cities including Birmingham, Leeds, and Bristol. Alongside opening dine-in restaurants, they also plan to open drive-thru locations and delivery kitchens this year.
Wingstop's UK Presence
Wingstop, a chain specialising in chicken wings, currently has 72 sites across the UK and plans to open 20 more this year.
Velvet Taco's UK Debut
In exciting news for lovers of Mexican-inspired food, Velvet Taco is set to make its UK debut at London's Broadgate Circle in Liverpool Street within weeks.
Dining Out on a Budget
For those looking to save money when dining out, there are several ways to do so. These include using discount codes, loyalty schemes, voucher schemes, student discounts, and Tastecard.
Denny's UK Expansion
Denny's, best known for its all-day breakfast menu, is also planning to expand in the UK. Specialist advisory firm FRP Corporate Finance is overseeing the process.
Chick-fil-A's Menu Offerings
Chick-fil-A's menu offers a variety of options, including the classic sandwich consisting of a lightly breaded whole chicken breast, pressure-cooked and served on a toasted bun with two pickle chips. An eight-count of Chick-fil-A Nuggets, made from 100% boneless chicken breast, will cost £6.19 (unbreaded nuggets are also available). All meals come with the chain's signature Waffle Potato Fries and a choice of a soft drink or iced tea. Hand-spun milkshakes will be available in flavors like Cookies & Cream, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla for £4.79.
As these fast food chains continue to expand in the UK, it's an exciting time for food lovers. With a variety of options now available, there's never been a better time to indulge in some tasty chicken dishes.
