In 1994 Chicken Cottage opened its first store in London located in Wembley, making the brands entry into the quick service restaurant market. A speciality menu based on Grilled, Fried and Halal chicken was developed and different from traditional fast foods, being the first to offer these products all in one restaurant. The products offered are fresh, flavoursome chicken options which are affordable and great value.
Chicken Cottage, wholly-owned by TI Global Holdings Ltd incorporated in Malaysia, has now paved the way for the company to firmly establish a global presence – with stores currently trading in Pakistan and Nigeria and expansion planned for India, where we are trialling a Ghost kitchen concept and Kenya with the first store opening in September. This is demonstrating the organisational strength and capability for further growth and for meeting the challenges that global expansion provides.
Chicken Cottage have been franchising since 1995 and has over 50 stores operating in the UK. Stores are predominantly based in and around London with additional stores in the North of England and Scotland. International territories include mainland Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

Historically a franchisee’s primary role has been to implement the franchise system taking ownership of all aspects of the business and ensuring operational aspects like staffing, stock, food hygiene, product quality and customers service are in line with brand standards. The franchisee can either take a hands-on approach or appoint a team to oversee these aspects. In addition, all back office administrative and accounting functions must also be maintained along with data sharing with the Franchisor through the approved POS and IT systems.
