With motorway services offering more and more fast food, tackling the demand from health-conscious customers has become increasingly difficult. Roadchef wanted to resolve this by partnering with Leon.
Founded in 2004, Leon describes itself as a fast food chain, but its menu instead focuses on healthy food, with wraps, salads and snack boxes. The brand can already be found in high streets and railway stations, and was first trialled at two Roadchef services in 2018.
Following a successful trial, which Roadchef called a 'phenomenal success', in July 2019 a five year agreement was signed between the two companies and 12 more Leon restaurants are expected to open at Roadchef sites.
In addition to the franchises operated by Roadchef, in 2020 SSP will be opening two Leon restaurants at services ran by Extra.
