An international fast food giant will be opening in the former Burger King opposite the Victoria Centre in Nottingham. The building has been on the market for a year following the closure of the burger joint during the pandemic.
The new operator will be Popeyes, a US fried chicken chain which is expanding across the UK. The company, which has more than 3,400 restaurants, opened its first British site in London last November and has as many as 350 locations across the country in the pipeline over the next 10 years.
Popeyes, which originated in New Orleans, says its chicken is freshly prepared daily and never frozen. "We believe the best food takes time, all our chicken is marinated for 12 hours in our signature blend of Louisiana herbs and spices and then hand-breaded and hand-battered to create that famous Popeyes Shatter-Crunch," says the website.
