Chick’n’Sours secures backing to expand delivery operation

Fried chicken and cocktail restaurant Chick’n’Sours has secured backing from Deliveroo and Sessions to expand its delivery offering into new areas.

The delivery and franchising platforms have teamed up to identify emerging brands and support their scaling.

They will help operators identify areas of untapped opportunity and launch new delivery-only locations.

Chick’n’Sours, which was founded 10 years ago, offers dine-in and delivery from two London locations in Haggerston and Seven Dials.

It will expand its delivery operations across Sessions’ kitchen network in key London locations, with Deliveroo acting as its exclusive delivery partner.

David Wolanski, Chick’n’Sours founder, said: “Our mission is simple: to bring joy to our guests through exceptional fried chicken, whether they’re dining in our restaurants, attending a festival or event, or enjoying a meal at home.

“By partnering with Sessions, we’re able to share the Chick’n’Sours experience beyond the walls of our restaurants, reaching new communities in areas where we currently don’t have a presence.

“We’re starting slow with a trial in select London locations, focusing on areas where our customers have expressed the most demand. We’ll use this as an opportunity to test and grow, seeing where this partnership can take us.”

Jessica Markowski, director for London and Deliveroo Editions, added: “Our fundamental aim is to support restaurants to grow and thrive so we are excited to test a new way of working with Sessions to support exciting exclusive brands to test new locations and scale.”

Chick’n’Sours will be available in Finchley, Fulham and Kilburn from April.
