The private-equity owner of Freshly Chopped and Scrumdiddly’s is moving to take over the smash and chicken burger chain to add to its growing stable of Irish food chains with franchise potential.

Chopped CEO Brian Lee has a background in carpentry but describes himself as also being a “Wheeler-Deeler” of his age. He is now the co-founder and CEO of healthy fast-food chain Chopped. His aim is to have Chopped on the same street as every McDonalds.
