Chick-fil-A is making another run at the U.K.

The chicken sandwich chain, which closed its lone location there five years ago, plans five locations in the country and a $100 million investment to make it work.

The chicken sandwich chain is reportedly planning to create its own streaming platform featuring mostly unscripted, family-friendly shows later this year.

The fast-food chicken sandwich chain generated nearly $22 billion in U.S. system sales last year, according to its franchise disclosure documents, while both mall and non-mall locations thrived.
