Chick-fil-A is hoping its future plans for the U.K. go better than its last entry into the country.

The fast-food chain announced Thursday it planned to open its first permanent store in the country in early 2025, with four more to follow over the next two years. The company plans to invest $100 million in the country over the next 10 years.
