US-based Popeyes aims to launch over 1,500 restaurants in China

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, a quick service chicken restaurant (QSR), is planning to develop and launch more than 1500 Popeyes restaurants in Mainland China over the next 10 years.

Popeyes China is the last of Restaurant Brands International’s three major brands to foray into the Chinese market. Burger King is operative in the country since 2005, and it now has over 1000 locations in China.

Josh Kobza, COO of Restaurant Brands International, said, “We’re very excited to grow the Popeyes brand in the Chinese market. We look forward to bringing our great tasting chicken, biscuits, sides, and beautiful new restaurants to our guests in China with our partner, TFI TAB Food Investments.”

Popeyes is operating more than 3100 locations in over 25 countries worldwide, which includes the United States and Canada.
