They're massive in the United States and now Popeyes are heading to Nottingham with a taste of the Deep South. There was so much interest when the company launched a chicken sandwich over the Atlantic in 2019, that it broke the internet.
Customers queued up around the block to try it. As a result nationwide supplies ran out in just two weeks as taste-test videos flooded social media and everyone wanted a taste. Now it's just a matter of time before the fast food giant opens in Nottingham, after it was announced today that it was taking over the former Burger King opposite Victoria Centre.
It will be one of the first sites as part of a UK-wide expansion plan. The city is not short on big name fried chicken joints with multiple KFC, Filipino favourite Jollibee across the road from the site, Slim Chickens in Long Row and a whole host of smaller operators.
