A growing British fast-food chain is set to open at a prominent Crewe town centre unit, formerly occupied by Costa Coffee.

Dixy Chicken will be launching at 40 Market Street, close to two years after the coffee chain closed its doors in the town centre.

In August 2024, Crewe Nub News revealed the three-storey building was under offer after being listed for rent and freehold by property consultants, Kenney Moore.

Work has been taking place at the 1,700 sq. ft. premises since the autumn, with workers confirming to Nub News it is set to become Dixy Chicken within the "near future."

Founded in 1986 in Solihull, Dixy Chicken specialises in halal chicken and has over 110 UK outlets, with plans to expand further.

Dixy Chicken, which has nearby branches in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Hanley and Winsford, is expected to open in Crewe in early 2026.

The town centre unit was totally stripped out with workers on-site daily to get the new food outlet ready for trade.

Crewe Nub News will keep local residents updated on the opening of Dixy Chicken.
