Popeyes UK, the popular chicken brand from New Orleans, opened its latest service kitchen in Leeds this past Monday. The launch is great news for chicken lovers in the city because they can now enjoy the popular Chicken Sandwich that everyone is talking about online.
Located on Wortley Moor Road, the new Popeyes® UK delivery kitchen is the brand’s latest addition, marking its fourth opening in 2024 and the 48th position since its UK inception in November 2021. People in Leeds can now enjoy tasty New Orleans-style food, including the famous Popeyes® Chicken Sandwich, known for its juicy chicken stewed for 12 hours, served with traditional Southern biscuits and gravy.
This expansion follows Popeyes’ plan to grow its position in the UK. Earlier this year, the US chicken company said it plans to open 30 new stores across the country, almost doubling its size. Popeyes is opening new sites in different areas of Scotland, England, and Wales to serve different communities and meet the increasing demand from customers.
Popeyes UK is growing quickly, thanks to TDR Capital, a private equity business that has just taken a major ownership share in the company. TDR Capital invested £50 million last year and bought more shares, making it a major player in helping Popeyes UK grow. Tom Mitchell, managing partner at TDR Capital, is confident in the brand’s success and growth, which fits with the company’s overall goals in the industry.
Popeyes UK is doing well not just because of money, but also because of new ideas like a food service for weddings across the UK and its first drive-through restaurant in Rotherham. These efforts, along with the brand’s popular menu items, have helped it become a top player in the UK fast-food scene.
Popeyes UK is growing with the help of TDR Capital and a strong team. The brand is focused on providing great eating experiences and sharing the joy of real New Orleans flavours with communities all over the country.
