Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen Opening A Franchise Outlet In Kochi

It’s finally here, though I had no clue that it would be. Well, almost here.  Famous American fried chicken company Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen is finally coming to Kochi. As shared in a previous post two days ago, the fast food franchise is opening up an outlet on the 5th floor of Center Square Mall which is under 2 kilometers away from me. It’s one of those fast food restaurant chains which I have seen online for years and years but didn’t think that they would come here. But here we are in 2024 and soon I will be able too taste some of it.

Founded in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1972, Popeyes has more than 50 years of rich history and culinary tradition. Popeyes distinguishes itself with a unique New Orleans style menu featuring a range of offerings that include Chicken Sandwich, Popeyes Signature Chicken and Chicken Tenders. The passion for its Louisiana heritage and flavourful authentic food has made Popeyes one of the world’s largest chicken quick service restaurants with over 3,300 restaurants around the world.

Popeyes entered India in January 2022 with an outlet in Bengaluru. So far, Jubilant has only opened Popeyes restaurants in southern India as part of its cluster approach and has rolled out the brand in cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Madurai and Manipal. I see that they have one outlet in Kozhikode, which opened on the 3rd of April and they have one more opening on the 26th of June. I am not sure as to when it is opening here but atleast it seems to be soon.
