Congratulations, readers in the United Kingdom! You finally get to experience the exhilarating joy that is Chick-Fil-A!
Recently, the American fast food chain announced where its first UK restaurants will open. Mashed reports that Leeds, Liverpool, London, and Belfast are the first cities to get Chick-Fil-A restaurants over the next two years. While this roll out may seem a bit underwhelming, there could be a method to the chicken shop's madness.
Good things come to those who wait
As Americans already know, it's hard to find a Chick-Fil-A that isn't swamped during the day. The company has gradually increased its presence throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, and it appears that things are going well enough in these areas to begin an expansion overseas.
Mashed reports that Chick-Fil-A wants to work with independent owner-operators based in the aforementioned cities to help make its long-term dreams a reality. Chick-Fil-A wants to work with local boots on the ground because it plans to make an immediate impact in British communities once its new locations open their doors.
Apparently, the casual dining chain will create 400 new jobs and provide various business opportunities to entrepreneurs who want to grow with the company's resources. Its also possible that Chick-Fil-A will learn from its past controversies and seamlessly integrate itself into the UK's local culture. If that happens, the company's brand could skyrocket in its new market and produce a new level of sales it didn't know was possible.
What do you guys think? Foodies on the west side of the Atlantic already know about the goodies Chick-Fil-A has to offer. However, there's no telling what kind of surprises the British side of the brand could prepare to celebrate its launch.
