Popular chicken sandwich chain Chick-fil-A to open first Singapore restaurant in 2025


In June this year, Chick-fil-A held a three-day pop-up at the Esplanade, where it served its classic chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. Proceeds from the sold-out tickets were donated to the Community Chest charity fund.

Chick-fil-A is currently accepting applications for local franchisees here. It has an unusual franchise model, where applicants pay only a minimal franchise fee and are not expected to invest a lot of capital, as Chick-fil-A covers most of the startup costs involved but charges the franchisee rent, a base operating fee and profit-sharing.

But the franchisees are expected to be hands-on at their outlet, and are typically not allowed to open more than one branch to ensure their focus and commitment to their existing shop.

According to Chick-fil-A’s press release, Singapore franchisees will also “have the opportunity to be part of the Chick-fil-A Shared Table food donation programme, which feeds hungry people by sharing surplus food with local nonprofit partners to help those who need it most”.
