Popeyes® is officially coming to The Moor, and we don’t have long to wait.
Fried chicken fans get ready, because the world-famous Louisiana chicken brand is making its way to Sheffield City Centre.
Launching on Friday 15 August 2025, the new restaurant will be opening its doors in The Moor shopping centre at 11am.
Marking its 30th opening this year and 95th since landing in the UK, you can rest assured that Popeyes® will be pulling out all the stops, showcasing its New Orleans hospitality with exciting launch day giveaways for locals.
So, what’s up for grabs?
On launch day, the first three customers in the queue will take home free Chicken Sandwiches for an entire year plus, the first 50 customers will be treated to exclusive Popeyes® UK merchandise and the first 100 will bag a free Chicken Sandwich.
Now that’s a lot of free stuff.
To top it all off, Popeyes® is bringing its signature New Orleans spirit with an electric performance from Mardi Gras-style band, The Brass Funkeys.
The hype for their opening has been real, so if you want to get your hands on some free chicken then then you best be fast, as queues are expected to form around the block.
And we’re not surprised, famous for their iconic Chicken Sandwich, Hot Wings, Tenders, and Signature Chicken Wraps – this is unlike any fried chicken you’ve tasted before.
All of Popeyes’ chicken is marinated for 12 hours in its signature blend of bold Louisiana seasoning, then hand-breaded and battered to deliver that world-famous ‘shatter-crunch’ chicken.
You can also get your hands on their new Hot Honey sandwich which features a sweet and spicy twist on the iconic Popeyes classic.
Tom Crowley, Popeyes® UK CEO, said: “The response to our Meadowhall restaurant since opening in 2023 has been incredible, so launching in the city centre has been a priority for us. Sheffield has a vibrant food scene and we’re looking forward to bringing the flavour of New Orleans to even more people right in the heart of the city.
The new restaurant will be located at 29 The Moor, Sheffield City Centre and brings 52 new jobs to the local area.
We’ll see you there.
