Popeyes UK announces Northampton Drive-Thru opening

08 June 2023

Following the successful launch of Popeyes first UK Drive-Thru restaurant in May, which saw customers queueing from 4am to get their hands on the famous Louisiana Chicken Sandwich, American fried chicken restaurant, Popeyes, has today announced Northampton as the town for its second drive-thru restaurant, opening in July 2023.

Renowned for its Chicken Sandwich that ‘broke the internet’ when it launched in the US and its world-famous ‘shatter crunch’ chicken, the all-new Popeyes UK Drive-Thru restaurant will offer the brand’s full mouth-watering menu, which includes the much-loved Signature Louisiana Chicken, Signature Wraps, Chicken tenders, Hot Wings, and Popeyes® Biscuits with gravy, plus much more, seven days a week.

The all-new Drive-Thru restaurant is the brand’s 8th opening in 2023 and marks the chain’s 19th UK site since opening its first UK restaurant in Stratford in 2021.

Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes UK, said: “After the success of our first Drive-Thru opening we’re thrilled to be announcing the opening of our second Drive Thru restaurant in Northampton this summer. Our Rotherham Drive Thru opening was our biggest opening to date, not just in the UK but for Popeyes globally. Parkgate Shopping park was grid locked on our opening day, and we’re ready to go again in Northampton. We’re continuing to build Drive Thrus as a strategic direction for the business as we grow around the UK, and the Sixfields site is one we’ve been looking at for over a year as part of that.

“We’re confident that the new restaurant, located in the heart of Northampton, will be really popular and can’t wait to announce our opening day giveaway plans soon.”

The new restaurant will be located on Walter Tull Way in Northampton. Plans include seating indoors and outside, a dual-ordering lane to reduce expected vehicle queues, and car park for customers who would like to eat inside the 68-seat restaurant
