Chicken lovers, assemble! A second Popeyes restaurant is coming to Liverpool next week, expanding its famous Louisiana chicken network.
Located in New Mersey Retail Park in Speke, the new Popeyes is opening its doors on Friday, November 22. The new spot marks the brand’s second regional branch and its 31st opening this year, as part of its continued expansion around the UK. The first restaurant in Liverpool opened in November 2022 on Lord Street in Liverpool city centre, and has been seeing massive success since.
The restaurant will open with the full Popeyes menu, with fan favourites like the iconic Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, crispy Hot Wings, Tenders, and Signature Chicken Wraps in Classic, Spicy, and BBQ. Each piece of Popeyes chicken is marinated for 12 hours in a signature blend of Louisiana herbs and spices, hand-breaded and battered for that world-famous ‘shatter crunch,’ with sides like its Southern Biscuits and Cajun Gravy.
Tom Crowley, Popeyes® UK Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We can’t wait to give even more people across Merseyside the chance to enjoy our famous Louisiana chicken with the opening of our new location at New Mersey Retail Park in Speke.
After the success of our first Liverpool restaurant, we’re sure our New Mersey location will be equally as popular, and look forward to welcoming customers later this month.”
