Inside Popeyes as it opens its first ever West Yorkshire drive-thru restaurant
The doors officially opened today to Popeyes’ latest drive-thru restaurant in Wakefield.
In the blink of an eye, the colourful orange and blue building has taken shape at Snowhill Retail Park, where hungry diners can pick up meals in the drive-thru or order ahead for curbside collection.
Customers dining in can order through a QR code or touch-screens, before sitting down at one of the many orange booths to tuck into trays piled high with sandwiches, tenders, mac and cheese, and more.
To celebrate their grand opening, Popeyes were feeling generous and rewarded the first 100 people in the queue with a free Chicken Sandwich, plus exclusive Popeyes merch.
But as one just isn’t enough, the first three people queuing both on foot and in cars won free Chicken Sandwiches for a whole year.
With the doors opening at 11am, you can already imagine the queues forming before the ceremonial ribbon was cut.
And it’s easy to see why, as the Popeyes fried chicken really is delicious.
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 morning menu. The Cajun Hash Browns alone are immense.
The new location includes 75 seats indoors and 16 outside, with a car park for customers who would like to dine inside the restaurant.
There’s 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. How class is that?
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.
