This is part of a broader $1 billion international push by 2025, targeting growth in Europe and Asia. Chick-fil-A, the third-largest U.S. fast food chain, currently operates over 3,000 locations across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada.The U.K. expansion will create around 400 jobs, with each restaurant expected to hire 80 - 100 employees. The company’s owner-operator model, which requires a $10,000 investment from franchisees, focuses on local ownership, with franchisees actively involved in day-to-day operations and community engagement.

Products, including chicken and free-range eggs, will be locally sourced in the U.K.This expansion follows Chick-fil-A’s steady growth in the U.S., where it generated $21.59 billion in systemwide sales in 2023, despite having fewer locations than its competitors.
