Sam's Chicken is a British fast food chain with 44 locations.[1] It was founded in 1990 by Sam Chandrasinghe.
Controversies
In May 2009, the Evening Standard reported that Chandrasinghe said that his staff and shops had been targeted by Tamil youth as part of a hate campaign due to his Sinhalese background.[2]
In November 2013, a Sam's Chicken location was fined £1750 by Ealing Council for illegal dumping of 35 rubbish sacks over seven nights. The shop owner had previously been fined for similar offences in 2011.[3]
In March 2014, food hygiene inspectors discovered that a worker at a Sam's Chicken location in east London had been forced to live in a windowless bedroom behind the kitchen.[4]
