NI's second Chick-fil-A restaurant to open next week

Northern Ireland's Chick-fil-A obsession continues, as the second of five restaurants opening in Northern Ireland is expected to open this month.

The first store opened at Applegreen’s Lisburn South motorway service area on the M1 back in January, to huge queues of chicken fans desperate to get their hands on the menu.

It's just been announced that the second location will open at Applegreen Templepatrick on the M2 on Thursday 27th March 2025.

Known for its Original Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich and signature hospitality, is the third largest quick service restaurant company by sales volume in the United States, and operates more than 3,000 restaurants across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada.

The new restaurants will create 70 new jobs, bringing Applegreen’s overall employment numbers in Northern Ireland to 351.
