Popeyes® UK is bringing its famous Louisiana fried chicken to Swansea, marking its fourth Welsh restaurant after Cardiff City Centre, Cardiff Bay, and Newport. The new Oxford Street location will officially open its doors at 11am on Friday 3rd October.
To celebrate the highly anticipated opening, Popeyes® is pulling out all the stops for Swansea locals:
-
The first three fried chicken fans in the queue will win free Chicken Sandwiches for a year*.
-
The first 50 customers will bag exclusive Popeyes® UK merch.
-
The first 100 hungry fans will be treated to a free Chicken Sandwich.
Famous for causing queues around the block, Popeyes® has become a phenomenon across the UK. In both Cardiff and Newport, superfans queued for 16 hours to be the first to try the iconic Chicken Sandwich. Swansea is set to be no different – receiving the full New Orleans experience with a performance from Mardi Gras-style band, The Brass Funkeys.
On the menu will be Popeyes® favourites including the legendary Chicken Sandwich, Signature Wraps, Hot Wings and Tenders – all made with 100% fresh chicken. The chicken is marinated for 12 hours in a signature blend of bold Louisiana seasonings, and hand-breaded for that world-famous “shatter-crunch.”
The Breakfast menu will also be available 8am until 10am every day, and will even include a Breakfast meal deal for just £1.99- consisting of the Bacon Roll, a Cajun Hash Brown and a drink. The deal can be claimed exclusively through the Popeyes® UK app, available to download here now.
Tom Crowley, Popeyes® UK Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Wales is a key growth area for Popeyes®, and the passion and excitement from Welsh fans never disappoints – from Cardiff to Newport, people have waited 16 hours for a taste of our famous Chicken Sandwiches. Bringing the New Orleans spirit to Swansea feels like the perfect next step.”
Popeyes® will be located at 6-7 Whitewalls, Oxford Street, Swansea. This will be the fourth Popeyes® opening in Wales, and the 37th UK opening this year.
