- Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. (PLKI) operates and franchises a multinational chain of quick-service restaurants specializing in Louisiana-style fried chicken and Southern comfort foods; its core menu features signature bone-in chicken in mild and spicy varieties, chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches on brioche buns with pickles and spicy mayonnaise, seafood including fried shrimp and catfish, red beans and rice, Cajun fries, mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy, biscuits, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, wings, family meals, kids' options, desserts, beverages, and dipping sauces such as bayou buffalo and Mardi Gras mustard. Founded in 1972 in Arabi, Louisiana, by Al Copeland and headquartered in Miami, Florida, the company functions as a subsidiary of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International following its $1.8 billion acquisition in 2017, which delisted PLKI from Nasdaq trading. Popeyes maintains approximately 3,700 locations across more than 40 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and 30 countries worldwide, with about 98% franchised and a focus on bold Cajun flavors appealing to diverse consumers seeking flavorful fast-casual dining. Recent developments include strategic franchise expansion agreements in 2025 to open over 300 restaurants in Mexico across Northwest, West Central, and Southeast regions with partners like Star Louisiana, Border Crunch, Grupo Euro, and Grupo Berny; accelerated UK growth via a 43 million GBP Barclays financing package and TDR Capital investment to add 45 sites in 2025, nearly doubling its 80+ locations; and new market entries such as Costa Rica, Italy, the Balkans, and additional Indian outlets.
