The world-famous Louisiana fried chicken restaurant is opening in Leeds City Centre this Friday, and they’re celebrating in style.
If you haven’t heard the news then first of all, where have you been? And secondly, allow us to fill you in.
Popeyes is bringing its shatter crunchin’ fried chicken to Commercial Street, and last night the space was turned into a late night rave hosted by legends Lab 54.
Iconic DJs Shauna Devlin and Sam Sax provided the tunes and had everyone partying all night long.
Queues were forming down the street until the lucky ravers were let into the space and treated to margarita cocktails by Pimentae , cans of Red Bull and plenty of Popeyes goodness.
We’re talking mini Chicken Sandwiches, shatter crunchin’ chicken tenders and samples of their new Saucin’ range which provided the fuel for head bopping and two stepping.
Chicken Sandwiches and a full-on rave? Sign us up.
Music and chicken lovers from across the city enjoyed a night of epic tunes and even better food.

If you missed out on the rave last night then don’t worry, as Popeyes will officially be opening the doors to its Commercial Street site this Friday 4 April at 11am.
The first three in the queue will get free Chicken Sandwiches for an entire year, and the first 100 in the queue will get themselves a free sandwiches and maybe even some exclusive Popeyes merchandise.
So run, don’t walk.
The colourful fast food spot will be serving up the full Popeyes menu meaning you can grab staple items like the buttery biscuits and cajun gravy and the iconic Shatter Crunchin’ Popeyes Chicken sandwich alongside cajun fries, tenders and their brand-new saucin’ range which is bursting with flavour.
