Pelicana signs for second UK location at London’s Angel Central
CBRE Investment Management has announced today that South Korean fried chicken brand, Pelicana, has signed for its second UK location at Angel Central, London as part of the move to expand its offer throughout the capital
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 2,172 sq 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. The recent completion of the award-winning Angel Central refurbishment has created exciting leasing opportunities, with the likes of UNIQLO, Frame, Saint Espresso, and now Pelicana delivering amazing quality and variety of choice for our community.”
Mr Kim, owner of Pelicana, said: “Islington’s Angel Central is the perfect location to continue our growth within the UK. Pelicana is a brand that delivers great taste and stays true to its roots, and we are confident that Angel Central’s shoppers and diners will enjoy our recipes, as we establish ourselves within the Islington community.”
The news follows the recent signing of Saint Espresso, the grass root café and coffee roasters, securing its second Islington location at Angel Central.
