Global fast food brand looks set to move into Stirling's newest drive thru
ChicKing is heralded as the first fully Halal international quick service restaurant - and is now hoping to open a drive thru branch in Springkerse.
A new takeaway drive thru could be heading to Stirling.
Foodfixx (Stirling) Ltd holds the franchise to operate the new food restaurant brand - ChicKing.
ChicKing is the first fully Halal international quick service restaurant (QSR) brand.
Planning permission for the drive thru buildings, on land next to and east of 15 Borrowmeadow Road at Springkerse, was granted in December 2024.
Now, however, an advertisement application submitted to Stirling Council planners shows that the unit, which has been built on the corner of Munro Road, hopes to accommodate the ChicKing brand.
In documents submitted with the application, agents said: 'There are over 230 ChicKing outlets in over 30 countries globally.
'Since securing the master franchise for ChicKing in July 2024, Foodfixx Ltd has demonstrated remarkable commercial growth. It has expanded from 9 to 17 locations across England and Ireland and is moving into Scotland with this store in Stirling.
'Each new store opening creates eight-plus new jobs.
The ChicKing website boasts: 'Passionately conceptualised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the first Chicking® outlet was established in the year 2000, and since then, our brand has grown to become extremely popular in 35+ countries with more than 300+ outlets.
'This impressive growth was achieved by understanding what families prefer. We are also a big favorite amongst individuals who are looking for a tasty alternative to formulaic fast food.
'Chicking® is proud to be one of the first fully Halal international quick-service restaurant (QSR) brands. We serve fresh, great-tasting food, using only the finest quality herbs and spices, carefully selected from around the world, to deliver exciting flavors in a modern setting.
'We currently serve more than 20,00,000 totally devoted, utterly convinced customers per month. It seems our loyal and rapidly multiplying patrons appreciate the fact that we offer an exciting and varied menu inspired by taste cultures from around the world: authentic American, mouthwatering Mexican, inspiring Indian, and irresistible Italian.
'Our innovative creations cater to a much wider audience than those traditionally targeted by most QSRs, but it is the warmth and service that brings families back for more and more.
'All food at ChicKing is made fresh to order, only fresh and not frozen chicken is used.'

Mike Lynch's superyacht seen on the surface for the first time since it sank
Seven people died when the Bayesian sank off the Italian island on August 19, including billionaire Mr Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18. The 56-metre (184ft) yacht was seen being held in an upright position by one of Europe's most powerful sea cranes near the fishing town of Porticello on Saturday morning. Hannah and Mike Lynch (Family handout) A project insider told the PA news agency: 'The vessel is on surface, but not clear of the sea as yet. 'Pumping out of water will continue, and it will be lunchtime – following a series of lifting and resting procedures – before she will finally be fully and finally out of the water.' Salvage workers could be seen on the vessel, which is covered in mud and algae, while the canopy and guard rails are mangled. Investigators in the UK and Italy say raising the vessel is crucial to fully understanding what happened. The yacht's 72-metre (236ft) mast was cut off on Tuesday using a remote-controlled tool and rested on the seabed to be picked up later. Tech tycoon Mike Lynch's superyacht the Bayesian is lifted to the surface (Peter Byrne/PA) Over the last few days, salvage teams have worked to ease the hull into an upright position and give access to the yacht's right side, which had previously been lying flat on the seabed 50 metres below the surface. The vessel is expected to be brought to Termini Imerese – where Italian prosecutors investigating the sinking are based, and on Monday it will be lifted on to a specially made steel cradle on the quayside. It was originally expected to be raised last month, but salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9, prompting greater use of remote-controlled equipment. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation, which began last month. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals. Marine Accident Investigation Branch investigators said in an interim report that the Bayesian was knocked over by 'extreme wind'. The yacht had a vulnerability to winds, but the owner and crew would not have known, the report said. The Bayesian is lifted to the surface (Peter Byrne/PA) US lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo, and Canadian-Antiguan national Recaldo Thomas, who was working as a chef on the vessel, also died in the sinking. Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued. Mr Lynch and his daughter were said to have lived in the vicinity of London and the Bloomers lived in Sevenoaks in Kent. The tycoon founded software giant Autonomy in 1996 and was cleared in June last year of carrying out a massive fraud over the sale of the firm to Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2011. The boat trip was a celebration of his acquittal in the case in the US.
