Popeyes, the American fried chicken restaurant, is opening its doors in Plymouth.
The new restaurant will officially open on April 6 at 10 New George St, in the heart of the city centre.
Popeyes is renowned across the globe with nearly 4,000 restaurants in 30 different countries. The Plymouth restaurant is the first to open in the South West and follows hot on the heels of openings in Cambridge, Reading and Cardiff.
The fast-growing chain arrived in England in November 2021, and has since opened 13 new restaurants, with a further 18 scheduled for 2023, including the first in Scotland and Wales.
Chicken fans in Plymouth will be able to experience Popeyes world famous ‘shatter crunch’ for themselves once they get their hands on the menu, including the iconic Popeyes chicken sandwich.
Tom Crowley, chief executive at Popeyes UK commented:
“When we landed in the UK in November 2021, we asked people all over the UK to ‘believe the hype’ attached to the huge cult following Popeyes already has in the USA.
“It’s safe to say they’ve done that, with overnight queues for all of our openings to date. There’s no doubt that Popeyes has been enthusiastically received on UK shores.
“We’re proud to be bringing Popeyes to the vibrant city of Plymouth. We’ve wanted to launch in the South West since we landed in the UK, and Plymouth was an obvious choice of location for us to do that.”
