Corrie Chippy gets new owner - we take a look back


Next week on Coronation Street, we'll see a new owner take over the chippy on Rosamund Street.  Want to know who it'll be? You can find out here!

It's time then to take a look back at the history, brief though it is, of the chippy in our favourite soap.

The chippy is currently called For Your Fries Only but it wasn't always called that. Formerly it was called Wong's Chip Shop.


The chip shop was introduced back in 2008 when Cilla Battersby-Brown and her friend Yana Lumb worked there. Since their departures, the chip shop hasn't really featured in any storylines, only a passing reference.   Probably the best known storyline featuring Wong's chippy was when Les and Yana sat outside of it in a tub of peas on Christmas Eve 2006.


I wonder what the new owner will bring to the chippy and if it's all part of the regeneration of Rosamund Street?

    I remember that happening, but I can't remember why now.

    Whatever happened to Jackson's chippy, where the residents of Coronation Street usually bought their fish and chips in the 1970s?

    The lovely Yana, she made me smile she appeared. No murderous backstory, to hidden psychopath tendencies. Just a normal wacko like the rest of us.

    Completely agree, Anonymous. Loved Yana and would love to see her back.

    Wasn't the sitting in peas thing a weird revenge from Cilla because she found out Les had a fling with Yana?

    A chip shop and a Kebab shop. And a diner. And a pub and a bistro. Very imaginative with their sets, aren’t they?
