The home of Louisiana fried chicken, has announced that it is bringing another taste of its signature New Orleans flavours to Manchester city centre later this year, with the launch of a new restaurant in Manchester Arndale.

The new restaurant will mark Popeyes® third location in Manchester and forms part of its ambitious plans to almost double its UK footprint by the end of 2025. The new site follows the success of its existing Manchester Piccadilly and Bury New Road restaurants which saw hundreds queuing for their first taste of its legendary Chicken Sandwich on their opening days.

Manchester residents will be able to dine in or takeaway from the new restaurant later this year, and enjoy a taste of the full Popeyes® menu, including fan-favourites like the iconic Popeyes® Chicken Sandwich, Tenders, and Signature Chicken Wraps in Classic, Spicy, and BBQ.

Each piece of Popeyes® chicken is marinated for 12 hours on-site in its signature blend of Louisiana herbs and spices, then hand-breaded and battered to deliver that world-famous ‘shatter crunch,’ complemented by tasty extras like Biscuits and Cajun Gravy.

Popeyes® will also be serving up its full breakfast menu at the new restaurant, packed with British breakfast classics combined with a New Orleans twist, the menu features the Big Cajun Roll, Cajun Hash Browns and indulgent Nutella-topped buttermilk biscuits.

Ahead of the opening day, fried chicken fans can enter for the chance of winning one of its world-famous Chicken Sandwiches by signing up via the Popeyes® UK website. 

Tom Crowley, Popeyes® UK Chief Executive Officer, said: “It’s clear that Manchester has a real appetite for our Louisiana-style fried chicken, and we’re excited to confirm our new restaurant in one of the city’s busiest shopping centres, Manchester Arndale. We can’t wait to share more about this exciting opening very soon.”

The new restaurant will be located at Manchester Arndale, Cromford Court, Market St, Manchester M4 3AQ and will bring 50 new jobs in the local area.
