The US fast-food chain’s âFamous Louisiana Chicken’ has been such a success with Brits that it plans to open 31 UK restaurants by the end of next year – with confirmed locations including Cambridge, Croydon and Reading
Popeyes was a huge hit with Brits when it first emerged on the UK high street back in 2021 in Stratford, London.
Now, the US fast-food chain says it plans to open a further 20 restaurants in 2023, bringing the total number of UK sites to 31 by the end of 2023.
It comes as the restaurant saw a record-breaking opening day in Oxford, with food lovers queueing around the block as early as 5am to get their hands on Popeyes’ iconic fried chicken.
Popeyes UK is hoping to open 20 more restaurants in various locations around the country.
