Popeyes Louisiana Chicken, one of the world’s most recognisable American fried chicken franchises, is assessing Australia as a potential next market as demand for US-style QSR brands continues to grow.

Australia’s enthusiasm for fried chicken franchises and American food brands positions the market as an attractive opportunity. Industry trends suggest there is space for another global player, particularly one known for Louisiana-style flavours and a differentiated menu.
