Binley Mega Chippy sees huge anniversary customers after going viral on TikTok

Binley Mega Chippy became a sensational tourist hotspot after a catchy theme tune went viral on TikTok, causing thousands of customers to come out, often queuing outside the door in the parking lot

A local Chippy has seen massive anniversary crowds over the first two days of the Bank Holiday weekend after it went viral on TikTok.

Binley Mega Chippy in Coventry saw his popularity skyrocket after a catchy tune about it went viral on the social media platform.

The store is now more popular than ever and huge crowds came out today to celebrate the anniversary at the diner.

Hundreds came and queued, some traveled far from across the country, Coventry Live reports.

The store’s car park was packed today as fans traveled from far and wide to sample what Binley Mega Chippy has to offer.

The West Midlands chip shop has become an unlikely tourist hotspot for four thousand, some of whom have traveled from all over the world, since it went viral online.

Chippy’s videos and memes have been viewed millions of times online, leaving the chip shop with queues outside and in the parking lot for the past few days.

Today was no different as scores of Brits queued up to enjoy the second day of their anniversary weekend with a Chippy.

Fencer Josh Perks, 18, made an eight-hour round trip from his Portsmouth home with two friends after seeing the takeaway was trending on TikTok.

He said: “We just thought it was a laugh, we wanted to see what the fuss was about. It was great fun, there was a bit of a party atmosphere. I don’t think the staff there can get their thoughts on what’s really going on.”

19-year-old student Ben Bradley from Coventry added: “I met a guy who had come over from France.

“Who comes to Coventry from France? Some lads from Scotland came too. It’s crazy, but the most British thing ever.

“It certainly shows the power of social media. It’s like a festival here. It has to be the most famous destination in Coventry at the moment and it’s just our local crisp shop.”

Shopkeeper Kamal Gandhi said he had “no idea” why the shop was catapulted to fame but claimed it could be because of his mother-in-law’s prayers.

Kamal said, “I don’t know. It could be god. I think it’s actually a gift from my mother-in-law, when I bought the store she was praying it would be a success.”

Kamal, 70, doesn’t even know who is behind the viral song honoring his Chippy, adding: “I have no idea who made it or who made the song. I actually have no idea.”

Gandhi thinks the novelty may be fading, but for now they are still being occupied by the growing number of customers.
