Popeyes UK has confirmed that it is set to open seven new sites as it continues its rapid expansion in the region. The new openings will include two additional London sites as well as its first drive-thru.
The new sites will be located in: Cambridge; Reading; Cardiff; Plymouth; Richmond; Rotherham and Barrhead.
The brand has also opened a further dark kitchen in Norbury to “keep up with demand in South London”. Rotherham will mark the brand’s first foray into drive-thru restaurants in the UK, following success with its in-line locations and delivery dark kitchens.
The first restaurant due to open in 2023 will be Cambridge on 16 February followed closely by Reading on 23 February. A total of 20 new sites are due to launch this year.
Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes UK, said: “The sustained demand we’re seeing for Popeyes in the UK is incredible, but not unexpected – Popeyes is a cult brand with a huge following in the US and has supplied food for everything from celebrity weddings to the Met Gala.
“That said, it’s still brilliant to see how enthusiastically the UK has welcomed us, and we’re particularly proud to be opening our first drive-thru locations this year. Now that we’ve established a growing presence here, we’re excited to start turning our attention towards building an industry-leading employee value proposition for our UK teams and identifying where we can make a difference in the communities we’re part of.”
