About Us
At LEON, we're redefining what fast food can be: feel-good fuel that powers your day, without compromising on flavour or the planet. We believe fast food should energise, not slow you down. Born from a simple idea shared by three friends in 2004, we set out to make fast, nutritious, and delicious food accessible to everyone. Our vibrant, high-protein menu is freshly prepared, packed with plants, good fats, and bold flavours inspired by ingredients from around the world.
Today, LEON is more than just 'a place to eat', we're an omnichannel brand, bringing our feel-good food to life across restaurants, travel hubs, grocery aisles, bestselling cookbooks, and beyond. We're a team guided by strong values, placing kindness at the heart of everything we do, from random acts of kindness to speaking openly and honestly. We celebrate achievements as a team, embracing challenges and striving to win together. Sustainability shapes our decisions, ensuring they're beneficial for our people, our business, and the planet.
