Chick-fil-A's first Liverpool restaurant announces opening date. The American chicken chain is famous for its sandwiches. American chicken restaurant chain Chick-fil-A has announced the opening date for its first Liverpool site. The restaurant will open on Lord Street on Thursday, August 27, occupying the Grade II-listed 81-89 building, which was formerly home to Lord Street Arcade. Article continues below Mum Rebecca Flanagan is proud of son Harry after getting his GCSE results In 2024, the Atlanta-based firm said it was in "the process of selecting operators" for four UK cities - with the aim of opening five restaurants within two years. The UK cities in the mix were London, Leeds, Belfast and Liverpool. Article continues below The building's front is poised to receive a new look including the company's signature red colour along with a new access point and complete overhaul of the interior. In announcing its UK investment, the chain pledged a one-off donation of $25,000 to a local non-profit organisation when the chain restaurant successfully opens in the city. It also said it would continue with its donations of surplus food to local shelters, soup kitchens and food charities.

As an independent owner, David will lead the restaurant's operations, hire local talent, as well as build partnerships with local organisations and charities within the community. The restaurant will be closed on Sundays, a tradition that dates back to Chick-fil-A's founder, Truett Cathy, who wanted to give his team members a day off to do what they love, whether that is spending time with friends and family or worship if they choose. The company continues to honour that sentiment today.

The capital "A" in Chick-fil-A symbolises the "top quality" or "Grade A" of its chicken. Overtime, the quality standard the 'A' represents expanded to encompass the brand's commitment to overall high-quality service and our signature hospitality.

Chick-fil-A eyeing former Frisch's site for new Xenia location.

Chick-fil-A eyeing former Frisch's site for new Xenia location. By Brooke Jones, WHIO.com August 14, 2026 at 4:02 pm EDT XENIA - A Chick-fil-A is one step closer to coming to Xenia. Xenia City Planner Brian Forschner confirmed the city's Planning and Zoning Commission approved an Alternative Equivalent Review for the fast food chain. The review is a waiver of some of the city's architectural standards. Forschner added that it meant the façade design was approved. News Center 7 obtained the application for the review, which reveals that developers want to put the Chick-fil-A at the former Frisch's site on W. Main Street. The design would include a drive-thru, two freestanding canopies, a refuse enclosure, a patio, and a playground, according to the application. Forschner said the next steps for the applicants are to prepare a complete set of building and site plans and submit them to the city staff for review and approval.
