US fried chicken chain Popeyes has announced the opening date for its new restaurant in Nottingham city centre. It will welcome customers from 11am on Saturday, October 1.
The fast food restaurant will operate from the former Burger King site, in Upper Parliament Street, right opposite the entrance to Victoria Centre. The burger joint closed during the pandemic in 2020.
Bosses at the chain say they expect queues to start early following previous restaurant openings which saw crowds form for its Chicken Sandwich from 5am. Tom Crowley, chief executive of Popeyes UK, said: “We’re excited to be kicking off our Midlands expansion in the heart of Nottingham – it’s such a thriving, lively city that we’re sure residents and visitors alike will enjoy the Popeyes offering.
