We believe quality fast food doesn’t have to feel rushed, and casual dining doesn’t have to come without character. Chicken Shop was a rare opportunity for us to flip expectations injecting personality, joy, and a little rebellion into the quick-service world, while raising the bar on quality, flavour, and experience.

A distinctive and characterful visual identity that punches through the noise on the high street.

Brand Transformation: From CHIK’N to Chicken Shop.

This wasn’t a simple rebrand. It was a full personality upgrade.

The shift from CHIK’N to Chicken Shop marked a confident new chapter rooted in a core idea we called playful independence. Bold. Self-aware. Full of flavour. Chicken Shop doesn’t whisper politely it clucks loudly. It knows who it is, doesn’t apologise for it, and has a sense of humour sharp enough to cut through the noise.

Channelling Attitude Through Interior and Emotional Design

Our role was to translate that attitude into every part of the experience not just visually, but emotionally too.

The interiors wear their confidence well. Raw, industrial materials: concrete, exposed ductwork, steel set the tone, while warm timbers and flashes of yellow bring energy and approachability. Graphics don’t sit quietly; they speak up. Packaging, wall art, and signage become part of the conversation. Even the smallest moments a wink of copy on a napkin, the sass of a sauce label, a projecting sign with a knowing grin are all carefully crafted to reinforce the brand’s voice: witty, fearless, and unmistakably itself.

Designed for Natural Flow, Customer Comfort and to Raise a Smile

Beyond aesthetics, the space is designed to feel instinctive and alive. The open kitchen adds theatre. Seating zones invite guests to linger. It’s fast, but never frantic. Branded, but never sterile.  And if you’re paying attention, there’s always something waiting to make you smile.

Quick-Service Dining Reimagined

Chicken Shop doesn’t just serve food it serves personality, confidence, and a little rule-breaking on the side. Quick-service dining, reimagined. For people who like their chicken with flavour and their food experiences with attitude.
