“Expanding in both Europe and Asia is a meaningful milestone for Chick-fil-A,” said Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew T. Cathy. “The investments we’re making in the U.K. and Singapore not only present opportunities for our business, but are also a chance for us to bring what makes Chick-fil-A special to new places – great food and remarkable hospitality."
Each restaurant will create between 70 and 120 new jobs in those communities.
To commemorate the openings, the company is donating $25,000 to non-profit organizations in the U.K. and Singapore.
