How the Franchise Started?

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen was founded in 1972 in New Orleans by Al Copeland, originally named Chicken on the Run. After early struggles, Copeland rebranded the concept with a focus on bold, spicy, New Orleans–style fried chicken.

The first franchise opened in 1976, setting the stage for rapid expansion rooted in authentic Southern flavors. Over the decades, Popeyes gained fame for its unique seasoning blends and signature chicken sandwich that became a viral sensation.
