The Korean fried chicken shop was launched in 2015.
Chick ‘n’ Sours co-founder David Wolanski expressed the challenges faced by the restaurant in an Instagram post, stating that “we hung on for as long as we could.”
Chick ‘n’ Sours began when its founders Wolanski and Carl Clarke met at the Latitude Festival. The business expanded to run four locations.
Wolanski continued: “The casual dining restaurant model is broken, but that’s for another post. It’s been an incredible journey from when Carl and I came up with the idea of opening the best chicken shop in the world ten years ago on the back of my scooter.

“There are so many awesome independent restaurants out there doing great things but finding it tough out there also.”
The chain’s menu includes crispy chicken, sour and sweet cocktails and the Hot Chicken Bun, its signature dish, which contains home-made pickle, chicken thigh, slaw and a mild spicy sauce.
