Popeyes® UK has announced that the doors of its new Teal Park drive-thru restaurant off Colwick Loop Road will open later this month.
Their new venue – their second in Nottingham – is located on Morado Way, part of Teal Park, and will officially open on Monday October 14 at 11am.
The 86-seat restaurant includes both inside and outside seating, touch-screen ordering, plus two lanes in the drive-thru. It will be open from 8am to 11pm every day.
The fried chicken chain will be serving their world-famous ‘shatter crunch’ chicken, as well as its full mouth-watering menu when the drive-thru restaurant opens its doors.
The menu includes the iconic Popeyes® Chicken Sandwich and original biscuits and gravy, alongside its ‘Brekkie’ menu which features British breakfast classics with a New Orleans twist, such as Brekkie Wraps, the Big Cajun breakfast roll and Cajun hash browns.
Popeyes® UK is set to pull out all the stops to showcase its Southern hospitality as it brings a taste of Louisiana to Gedling borough.
There will be exclusive giveaways and prizes to be won on opening day with the first three pedestrians in the queue and first three vehicles in the drive-thru lane winning the ultimate prize of free Chicken Sandwiches for a year. The first 25 in each queue will also win a free Chicken Sandwich and exclusive Popeyes® merch. A DJ booth will also be on hand to bring the Mardi Gras atmosphere to opening day.
The opening at Teal Park follows the incredible success of Nottingham’s original walk-in restaurant, which opened on Parliament Street in 2022.
The dual drive-thru lanes will allow chicken fans to be served as quickly as possible, and specifically dedicated ‘Park and Serve’ bays mean customers will be able to drive to Popeyes and order from the comfort of their car, with to-the-car-door service from the team. Customers looking to experience the spirit of New Orleans can also dine in, as the new restaurant also features both indoor and outdoor seating.
Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes® UK, said: “Our city centre restaurant in Nottingham has seen fantastic success since it opened two years ago, so we are confident that our new drive-thru restaurant will be just as popular. The Popeyes® brand continues to go from strength to strength. We look forward to continuing to grow our footprint in the Midlands and announcing more locations soon.”
