Popeyes® was founded in 1972 and has built more than 40 years of culinary tradition. The brand began with entrepreneur and culinary innovator Al Copeland, who brought the unmistakable flavors of New Orleans to life with a big idea and one small restaurant: bold, craveable fried chicken. Today, Popeyes® continues to honor that legacy by celebrating Louisiana Cajun and Creole flavor in every dish, from our signature spicy chicken to chicken tenders, fried shrimp, and other regional favorites.

As a leading chicken quick service restaurant, Popeyes® has grown to more than 3,300 restaurants across North America and continues to delight guests around the world. Our menu is known for its distinctive taste, consistent quality, and the energy that comes from serving food made to be shared.
