That is not a typo with the headline at the top of this post.
You can actually get Popeyes chicken for 59 cents starting on Sunday, June 12.
But why is that date so significant? It’s because in 1972, per the chain, Alvin C. Copeland Sr. opened the first Popeyes (fun fact: Did you know that was named after Popeye Doyle in The French Connection? I just learned it!) in New Orleans.
How much did he sell fried chicken for? You guessed it: That would be 59 cents.
Here’s how you can get some very affordable chicken: You can get a two-piece chicken by spending at least $5 with an order through the Popeyes app or through the site on June 12 with the offer available through June 19. Seriously: What a deal!
One more week until we're fifty, flirty and thriving, fam
