Company Information

Founded in 1972, Popeyes has more than 40 years of history and culinary tradition. Popeyes owes its beginnings to entrepreneur and culinary innovator, Al Copeland. With one small restaurant and a big idea, Copeland introduced the New Orleans–style fried chicken that has now made the brand famous throughout the world. Popeyes culinary heritage is built upon the rich Cajun and creole flavor profiles that are unmistakably Louisiana.
