History of Popeyes
The fried chicken chain was founded by Al Copeland, Sr. in Arabi, a suburb of New Orleans, in 1972. Copeland wanted to compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken, but his restaurant failed within a few months. Four days later, he reopened the restaurant under the name Popeyes Mighty Good Chicken.
Popeyes stood out for its unique menu inspired by New Orleans, offering spicy chicken, chicken tenders, fried shrimp, and other regional dishes. Over the years, the chain has positioned itself as one of the leading fried chicken brands in the country.
Known for its exclusive New Orleans-style chicken recipes, the company has become one of the largest fried chicken restaurant brands in the world, with over 4,300 locations in various countries.
