Chick-fil-A plans to open its first Singapore restaurant in late next year, signifying the fast food chain’s entry into Asia.
The new restaurant will mark the beginning of a 10-year $75 million investment by the US fast-food chain, with two more restaurants planned to open in 2026.
“The profound love that Singaporeans have for food, as well as the city’s strategic position as a
gateway to the Asian market makes it the ideal choice for Chick-fil-A’s first permanent restaurant in
the region,” said Anita Costello, chief international officer at Chick-fil-A.
Currently, the fast food chain has more than 3000 restaurants globally.
The announcement of the new store follows Chick-fil-A’s successful pop-up event in Singapore last June, during which the brand introduced itself to the community and gained an understanding of the region’s preferences.
The event, which encouraged attendees to donate $10, generated $30,000 given to Community Chest, the philanthropy and engagement arm of National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
Meanwhile, Chick-fil-A noted that upcoming owner-operators of the stores in Singapore will have the opportunity to be part of its Chick-fil-A Shared Table food donation program.
The company is now accepting expressions of interest from individuals who want to become the first independent Chick-fil-A franchise owner-operator in Singapore.
