On August 1st, Popeyes, the globally renowned fast-food chain, will officially open its doors in Poznań at Posnania Shopping Centre, located at Pleszewska Street 1. Known for its Louisiana-style chicken, the brand is eager to make a significant impact on the local food scene with a grand opening event filled with exciting promotions and activities.
The Buzz Around the Opening
As part of its tradition, Popeyes is set to offer generous promotions to its first customers. The first three people in line, in a specially designated area marked by an orange carpet and Popeyes flags, will receive a yearly voucher for free Chicken Sandwiches. Additionally, the first 100 patrons will enjoy a free Chicken Sandwich on the opening day.
The festivities won’t just be about the food. A live brass band will entertain guests as they wait in line, and a photo booth will be available for capturing fun moments. There will also be a station for creative branding of shoes, clothing, and accessories, ensuring a vibrant and memorable event.
A Rich Culinary Heritage
Popeyes, established in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1972, boasts a rich culinary tradition. Its menu is famed for chicken marinated in a special Louisiana Cajun spice blend, available in both mild and spicy versions. The chain also offers an array of chicken sandwiches and fried chicken parts, maintaining its commitment to bold and authentic flavours.
Popeyes’ parent company, Restaurant Brands International Inc. (RBI), is one of the world’s largest quick-service restaurant companies. With over 30,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries, including other well-known brands like Burger King and Tim Hortons, RBI is a major player in the global food industry.
