Own a Fish and Chip Franchise!

Welcome!

The Wee Chippy™ offers a unique opportunity to join the thriving new trend of high-quality, quick-service food establishments. No one in the U.S. does fish & chips like we do! Plus, we even offer vegan and gluten-free options of this universally loved dish.

Founded in Venice, CA in 2013 by Scottish native Joe Gorrie, our concept embodies authenticity and unparalleled taste. The Wee Chippy™ has brought back a tradition by revolutionizing the classic fish & chips, with our award-winning, fresh hand-cut fries and the highest quality Atlantic cod.

What makes our fish & chips different is that they can be seasoned in unlimited ways with our line of specialty gourmet salts, giving our customers different flavor experiences every time they visit.

As a franchisee and a new member of The Wee Chippy™ family, we will give you the secrets of our success, taking you step-by-step to build your business on our proven model.

We go above and beyond for our customers — our franchisees will not be any different.

If you love working with people, have a passion for food, and would like to be a part of this unique concept, The Wee Chippy™ would love to hear from you!
