Expansion to Manchester, UK was also attempted; the chain predicted locations in China and India would be in operation by the end of 2008. In 2012, an expansion was attempted into Jamaica. Malaysia and Sri Lanka were also targets for Dixie Lee franchises. In 2014, ten Ontario locations remain in operation, primarily in small markets. Six of these are operated by northern Ontario regional chain Roosters Diner, which also operates restaurants under its own name. With the notable exception of Dixie Lee Maritimes (which remains strong with 38 locations extending from Quebec City, Quebec eastward through New Brunswick and as far the Magdalen Islands), the chain has little remaining presence outside Ontario. A Dixie Lee opened in Oakville, Ontario in 2014 marking its entry into Halton Region. The outlets located in Eastern Canada are managed by Dixie Lee Maritimes Ltd., while those that remain in other areas of Canada (and formerly the United States) were operated by Dixie Lee Food Systems Ltd.  , Dixie Lee's only international presence is in Guyana, where local businessman Alfro Alphonso opened Dixie Lee and Papa Pete's franchises alongside a US-franchised Miami Subs Grill and a sports bar in Georgetown in September 2013. Dixie Lee restaurants serve fish and chips, fried chicken, nuggets and other side items such as cole slaw, French fries, wings, wraps and soft drinks. According to its website, fried products are prepared with trans-fat free oils. The company's website states that its chicken products may contain trace amount of MSG and that other products may contain allergens and ingredients that may cause sensitivity to some persons.
