Chick-fil-A to Open First Asia Outpost in Singapore in 2025

Gather round, chicken lovers! The popular American chicken sandwich chain, Chick-fil-A is finally coming to Asia!
The third largest fast-food restaurant chain in the United States known for their original chicken sandwiches and waffle fries is opening their first restaurant in Singapore in late 2025, marking its entry into Asia. The brand also announced last Oct. 17 that this will begin the 10-year investment of US$75 million as part of its expansion plans.
Last June 2024, Chick-fil-A hosted a three-day pop-up event in Singapore at the Esplanade. This helped introduce the brand to the community and allowed the company to gain a deeper understanding of guest preferences in the region. Tickets sold out quickly, as more than a thousand customers came to enjoy their iconic Original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich.
An interesting tidbit about the event was that they didn’t charge for the food. Instead, customers were asked to donate SG$10 to the Community Chest fund, the philanthropy and engagement arm of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). The pop-up generated SG$30,000.

“The profound love that Singaporeans have for food as well as the city’s strategic position as a gateway to the Asian market make it the ideal choice for Chick-fil-A’s first permanent restaurant in the region. We are grateful for the overwhelming support and positive response from Singaporeans so far and we look forward to serving them in 2025,” said Anita Costello, Chief International Officer at Chick-fil-A, Inc.
A Unique Franchise Model
Do you want to own a Chick-fil-A restaurant? The company is currently accepting applications for local franchises!
They're offering a unique franchise model that combines business opportunity and community impact. Applicants will only need to pay a minimal franchise fee and are not expected to invest a lot of capital as Chick-fil-A covers most of the startup costs. The franchisee will mostly cover rent, a base operating fee, and profit-sharing.
On top of this, they also get the opportunity to be part of the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ food donation program, the brand’s initiative that shares surplus food with local nonprofit partners to help those in need.
“We are thrilled to introduce Chick-fil-A to Singapore, bringing new jobs and opportunities as we support the local community. Serving our Guests with high-quality food and signature hospitality remains our top priority as we do so,” said Hugh Park, Head of Asia Pacific Operations at Chick-fil-A (Asia) Pte Ltd. “Our unique approach, with locally owned and operated restaurants, will also allow us to better connect with people in Singapore as we provide an authentic Chick-fil-A experience.”
