Wakefield get ready, because you can your hands on the viral Chicken Sandwich on Monday 7 October from 11am…and you don’t even have to leave your car.
The wait is finally over, as the all-new American fried chicken restaurant will be opening its doors in just a week’s time.
Located at Snowhill Retail Park, this new location marks the brand’s 19th opening in 2024, and that’s only the beginning as the viral chain continues to take the UK by storm.
Popeyes® is gearing up to pull out all the stops to showcase its Southern hospitality as it brings a taste of Louisiana to West Yorkshire.
Famous for their ‘shatter crunch’ coating and staple items like Southern biscuits and gravy as well as the iconic Popeyes® Chicken Sandwich (genuinely lives up to the hype), they’ve also made waves when it comes to breakfast with a very solid early morning menu. The Cajun Hash Browns alone are immense.
And the best part? You can even get your hands on a free sandwich ahead of the launch by head signing up via the Popeyes® UK website.
But if one isn’t enough, on opening day from 11am the first 3 people queuing both on foot and in cars will win free Chicken Sandwiches for a whole year.
Additionally, the first 100 customers will be rewarded with a free Chicken Sandwich, plus exclusive Popeyes® UK merchandise. To win, customers need to be one of the first 50 pedestrians in the queue, or one of the first 50 vehicles in the Drive Thru lane.
So we recommend getting down there as early as possible so you can bag yourself some freebies.
The new location will include 75 seats indoors and 16 outside, with a car park for customers who would like to dine inside the restaurant.
There will also be a Drive Thru lane, plus specifically designated ‘Park & Serve’ bays, allowing customers to order and be served by the team from the comfort of their vehicle. How class is that?
Tom Crowley, Popeyes® UK Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Following the success of our existing Popeyes® sites across Yorkshire, we’re really looking forward to opening our newest restaurant at Snowhill Retail Park. This will mark our fourth restaurant in the region, and we’re ready to bring a taste of New Orleans to Wakefield.”
Popeyes® UK have also announced the launch of a second new Drive-Thru location in Gildersome (they’re really treating us), with opening plans to be revealed very soon.
