Popeyes has announced it is opening its first-ever drive-thru in Rotherham as the American fast food chain plans to expand in the UK this year. The Louisiana-style chicken restaurant announced it is opening six new UK restaurants and the drive-thru in 2023 alongside its 17 existing branches.
Popeyes launched in the UK in 2021 when the first store opened in Stratford’s Westfield Shopping Centre. The company currently has 3,400 restaurants worldwide, after first opening in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1972. The new drive-thru is expected to open at Parkgate Shopping Park.

“It’s still brilliant to see how enthusiastically the UK has welcomed us, and we’re particularly proud to be opening our first drive-thru locations this year."
The first of the new restaurants will open in Cambridge on February 16, followed by Reading on February 23 and Cardiff in late March. However, a date has not yet been confirmed for the drive-thru in Rotherham.
