U.S. restaurant chains target Polish expansion
06:10
Several U.S. restaurant chains are evaluating expansion in Poland as the country’s food-service market grows. Wingstop is seeking sites in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, the Tri-City and Poznań through UK and Ireland operator Lemon Pepper Holdings. Taco Bell is now preparing a return to Poland with AmRest, while Wendy’s has also identified the market as a potential destination.
Poland had more than 100,000 food-service outlets nationwide after the first half of 2026, up from 82,700 in 2022, according to data cited by Money.pl. The number of restaurants increased by about 1,900, or 2.8 percent, from the end of 2025. Popeyes, another U.S. chain in Poland, opened a new central Warsaw location in September, bringing its national network to 47 restaurants. International operators are targeting both major cities and established retail locations as Poland’s modern retail and restaurant infrastructure continues to expand.
