The news comes after hundreds queued for their first taste of the iconic fried chicken in Wakefield this Monday.
This Monday 7 October, Popeyes opened the doors (and lanes) to its latest Drive-Thru restaurant and it’s fair to say it went down a storm.
Cars queued round the block for the viral Chicken Sandwich that broke the internet, and now the Louisiana Fried Chicken chain confirms they’ll be opening a new Yorkshire location in just three weeks time.
The brand-new Drive-thru is set to open in Gildersome on Monday 28 October, and if you didn’t get your hands on a freebie in Wakefield then don’t fear as Popeyes will be replicating the hype once again.
The first 3 people queuing both on foot and in cars will win free Chicken Sandwiches for a whole year and the first 100 customers will be rewarded with a free Chicken Sandwich, plus exclusive Popeyes merch.
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.
Tom Crowley, Popeyes® UK Chief Executive Officer, said: “Seeing chicken fans in Wakefield queue round the block for our Chicken Sandwich and supporting our fourth Drive-Thru in Yorkshire has been brilliant!
“The region continues to be a key target for our exciting growth plans and we can’t wait to see everyone on the 28th October for the Gildersome launch.”
The new West Yorkshire Drive-Thru restaurant is now open at Red Hall Ln, Wakefield, WF1 2DF.
The site includes 75 indoor seats and 16 outside, and a car park for customers who would like to dine inside the restaurant. There is also 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.
