Today, Popeyes® celebrates the opening of its 300th restaurant in Canada!
Since the brand was founded in 1972 by Al Copeland in New Orleans, Louisiana, Popeyes has offered guests fried chicken and southern sides that mimic the delicious homemade food you would find walking into any kitchen in Louisiana.
Its bold Cajun flavors and seasonings have helped the brand stand out from competitors for decades.
The brand values, traditions and recipes have stood the test of time, and as a result, Popeyes continues to expand its footprint and introduce themselves to new guests across the country and around the world with a total of 3,300+ restaurants across the U.S. & Canada.
Popeyes opened its first Canadian location in Toronto in 1984, and the brand has cultivated immense popularity since then, especially in recent years.
In fact, when Popeyes opened its first restaurant in Nova Scotia earlier this year, the demand was so high, the drive through line backed up onto the highway, at one point it was over a kilometre long!
Popeyes 300 Piece Nugget Meal
To celebrate the 300th opening, the brand is introducing a menu item befitting for the milestone: a 300 piece Nugget Meal, one nugget for each Popeyes in the country.
The limited time offering includes 300 pieces of the brand’s beloved Nuggets which are seasoned to perfection, hand-battered in buttermilk, breaded and fried to deliver a classically flavourful crispy and juicy bite with every piece.
Starting October 26th and running through October 28th, the Popeyes 300 piece Nugget Meal will be available, while supplies last, in select restaurants in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario.
