Popeyes to open first UK outlet in London’s Westfield Stratford
New sites will be announced "imminently", the chain said.
Popeyes has confirmed its first ever site in the UK will open inside Westfield Stratford in November, part of a larger goal of opening 350 UK restaurants over the next decade.
The American chicken chain, which runs 3,400 restaurants globally, said new sites will be announced "imminently".
The initial restaurant will take up a 1,531 sq ft unit in Westfield Stratford City.
"Our vision for our UK launch is ambitious and bold, and we felt a shared sense of purpose with Westfield Stratford City when we were on the hunt for our first restaurant. We are confident that they are the perfect partner to help us kick-start our entry into the UK market,” Popeyes UK CEO Tom Crowley said.
The UK launch is part of an agreement between Restaurant Brands International, Ring International Holdings and Popeyes UK co-founder and Domino’s Pizza UK non-executive director Elias Diaz Sese.
