Fried chicken restaurant Popeyes is coming to Cardiff. The American chain recently expanded to the UK, with branches across the country, but will open its first Welsh branch in the capital later this year.
Founded in Louisiana over 50 years ago, Popeyes offers a selection of chicken products including fried chicken sandwiches, hot wings and tenders, as well as American-inspired sides and sweet treats.

The restaurant will open in a city centre unit that has been left empty for more than five years. Two floors of the unit on St John Street are currently used as an escape room, but the ground floor has been vacant since 2017 when former occupier BrightHouse closed down before later collapsing into administration.
