Some shoppers are concerned about the opening of a new fast food chain in the city centre, saying there are already too many. American fast food chain Popeyes is opening opposite the Victoria Centre in the former Burger King.
The fast food giant is a US fried chicken chain which had its first UK store open in London in November 2021 and has plans to open as many as 350 locations across the country in the next 10 years. Nottingham city centre has had many new fast food places open recently, including Jollibee’s which is across the road from where Popeyes will be.
Rose Edwards, a student at Nottingham Trent University said: “As a student fast food is really convenient but I know it isn’t healthy and setting up more fast food places isn’t going to help with that. As much as I enjoy takeaways setting up news ones is not going to help me with saving money or eating healthier.”
