The South Korean fried chicken specialist joins London’s Angel Central, CBRE Investment Management’s destination, following UK expansion plans.
Pelicana, which was founded in South Korea in 1982, is a leading fried chicken brand with over 3000 stores across Asia, Australia, China, Canada, and the USA. With a reputation for quality, taste, and freshness, Pelicana is ready to expand its presence in the UK in a new 2,172sq ft store at Islington’s Angel Central, located above Monsoon.
As one of the first brands to commercialise fried chicken for delivery, it has become an essential part of Korean food culture. Pelicana’s array of traditional dishes, alongside vegan and vegetarian options, focus on four signature flavours – classic crispy, sweet chilli, soy sauce, and volcano.
The ground floor of the Angel Central unit will be a dedicated takeaway offering, with the first floor a restaurant space seating 80 covers.
Commenting on the signing, Ciara Daffy, Asset Manager at CBRE Investment Management, said: “Pelicana is a global phenomenon that will contribute something new to Angel Central, and it’s a sign of their confidence in the destination that they’ve chosen their second national location with us.”
