Popeyes UK has announced that it is set to open a new restaurant at Manchester Arndale, one of the city’s busiest shopping destinations.
Popeyes UK has signed a lease agreement which will see the Company occupy a 2,816 sq ft space in the centre’s food court alongside other leading QSR and food on the go brands.
Manchester Arndale sees over 42 million shoppers pass through each year, and this new location will mark Popeyes UK’s third location in Manchester with existing restaurants in Manchester Piccadilly and its drive-thru on Bury New Road.
The addition of Popeyes continues the Arndale’s expansion of its food and beverage offer and follows other recent arrivals such as Sides and Joe and The Juice.
Scott Linard, portfolio director for M&G Real Estate, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Popeyes to Manchester Arndale as it is the perfect addition to our strong and varied food and beverage offer.
“We strive to create a vibrant destination that appeals to a wide variety of visitors. Our focus goes beyond retail – as we integrate innovative leisure and entertainment offerings. As the premier retail destination in the North West, we’re pleased to see strong visitor numbers and continued demand for space from international brands like Popeyes.”
Tom Crowley, Popeyes UK CEO, added: “It’s clear that Manchester has a real appetite for our Louisiana-style fried chicken, and we’re excited to confirm our opening in one of the city’s busiest shopping centres, Manchester Arndale. This marks our third location in the city, and we can’t wait to share more information about this exciting launch very soon.”
