Chick-fil-A defies activists to open in UK

One of the most popular fast-food restaurants in the United States, which has attracted controversy for its Christian roots and ethical stance, is attempting to launch in the UK for the second time.

Chick-fil-A has 2,800 stores spanning Canada to Puerto Rico. It is best known for its fried chicken sandwiches and closed doors on Sundays and is planning to open five branches early this year in Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool and London.

The company says that this expansion into the UK market is part of a broader plan to open restaurants in both Europe and Asia by 2026, and to have five international locations by 2030.
