The wait is over. Mancunians will soon finally be able to get their hands on the Chicken Sandwich that broke the internet, because Popeyes® UK has announced that it will finally be landing in Manchester later this year.
The all-new restaurant will be situated in Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens, marking the brand’s 15th opening in 2023, and the chain’s 32nd opening since landing in the UK in November 2021.
Chicken fans in Manchester will be able to experience Popeyes® world-famous shatter crunch for themselves once they get their hands on the mouth-watering menu, including the iconic Popeyes® Chicken Sandwich which contains its signature 12-hour marinated chicken, and original Southern biscuits and gravy.
What’s more, Popeyes® will also be serving its brand-new breakfast menu, including the Big Breakfast Roll (a sausage patty, egg, streaky bacon, and American cheese in a soft bun), a variety of sausage, bacon, egg and cheese muffins, cajun hash browns, and its famous Louisiana buttermilk biscuits served with cinnamon sugar or Nutella®.
As is Popeyes® UK tradition, the new venue is set to pull out all the stops to showcase its Southern hospitality as it brings a taste of Louisiana to Manchester. Ahead of the launch, chicken fans can enter for the chance of winning the famous Chicken Sandwich at the opening by signing up via the Popeyes® UK website (at popeyesuk.com/restaurants/manchester-piccadilly). More giveaways will be announced closer to the launch of the Manchester restaurant, and those who sign up will be the first in the know.
Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes® UK, said: “We are thrilled to announce that a new Popeyes restaurant will be opening in Manchester later this year. The city has been a key location for us since we first landed in the UK, and we’re looking forward to bringing the spirit of New Orleans to the iconic Piccadilly Gardens. Our most recent openings have been some of the biggest to date, not just in the UK but for Popeyes globally.
“After many requests for a Popeyes® UK in Manchester, we are confident that the new restaurant will be just as popular and can’t wait to announce more updates soon.”
The new Manchester restaurant will be located within Piccadilly Gardens at One Piccadilly Gardens, M1 1RG and will seat up to 67 people for dine in, with 32 seats outside. Takeaway also available.
