Popular American restaurant chain Popeyes to open new eatery in Wolverhampton
Popeyes is bringing its famous crunchy chicken sandwich to the city
Popular US Southern fried chicken restaurant chain Popeyes has announced it is opening a branch in Wolverhampton.
The chain is bringing its famous crunchy chicken sandwich to the city as part of its mission to bring bold New Orleans flavour to every corner of the country.
Popeyes is set to open its first restaurant in the city at 25 to 26 Dudley Street, Wolverhampton, as the brand continues to grow at pace since landing in the UK in 2021.
Tom Crowley, CEO of Popeyes UK, said: “We’re buzzing to bring our famous New Orleans flavours to the city.
“Every new restaurant opens with such incredible energy from our fans, and we can’t wait for Wolverhampton to join the fun.”
Featuring 62 covers, the new restaurant will serve up Popeyes’s favourites from its hand marinated chicken to its iconic buttermilk biscuits.
Locations nationwide have seen queues around the block as fried chicken fans have raced to get their hands on Popeyes’ signature Shatter Crunch Chicken Sandwich and it’s expected the launch of the Wolverhampton store will be no different.
The business, which was founded as Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Inc in 1972 in New Orleans, already has branches in Wednesbury, Brierley Hill and Birmingham.
No opening date has yet been given for the new Wolverhampton eatery.
