After Selvendran's death in 2002, his son Shan Selvendran took over the business.^{[citation needed]} Aiming to become the largest chicken chain in the country, Selvendran began the expansion of the franchise in 2018, opening a number of locations throughout London.^{[citation needed]} In 2020, Morley's opened two branches in the North East towns of Stockton on Tees and Hartlepool. They also opened branches in Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Finsbury Park and Acton in West London.^[6] By December 2021, the chain had almost 90 branches, though almost entirely in South London.^[7][8] According to The Telegraph they are "a chain unknown north of the river".^[9]

In 2022, former professional footballer Jerome Sinclair became the owner of a Morley's franchise in Dudley Road, Birmingham.^[10]
