📢 Big news for chicken lovers! Popeyes is on a roll in the UK, and there’s no slowing down. The US-based fried chicken sensation is about to celebrate the opening of its 100th UK location at the bustling London Bridge station. That’s right, folks, 100 locations since landing here in 2021! 🚀🍗
With the backing of TDR Capital, Popeyes has taken the UK by storm, riding the wave of our collective love for delicious, crispy chicken. They’ve opened a whopping 45 restaurants this year alone and aim to reach 50 by year’s end. And here’s the kicker – they’re just getting started! 🎉
Tom Crowley, the man steering Popeyes UK, is confident about the brand’s rapid expansion. “We’ve seen success nationwide, not just in London. People love our authenticity,” he shares. So what’s next? More travel hubs and possibly another 50 branches by 2026! ✈️🚉
The chicken scene in the UK is sizzling hot, with new and tasty players entering the market. Wingstop UK, Dave’s Hot Chicken, and Chick-fil-A are all making waves too. But is it peak chicken? Not according to Mr. Crowley: “The demand keeps rising, and there’s plenty of room to grow, especially when you compare us to the US.”
In short, if you’re a fan of Popeyes’ legendary fried chicken, get ready for even more locations to satisfy those cravings! 🍗🔥
