Chick-fil-A has its eyes on a much broader market. The Wall Street Journal reports the fast-food chain, which originated in the Atlanta suburb of Hapeville, is planning a $1 billion expansion into Europe and Asia. The first stores in the regions will open by 2026, and by 2030 the company hopes to be in five international markets.
The number of stores that Chick-fil-A plans to open is still undetermined. The company says it plans to utilize the same rules it currently has for franchisees with overseas partners, limiting them to one restaurant per franchisee.
