American chicken chain Popeyes is set to open a new restaurant in Liverpool this year.
The fast food giant, which launched in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1972, opened its first UK branch in London in November last year. The chain now has a handful of sites across the UK.
Popeyes is set to open its doors in Liverpool city centre serving up its iconic dishes - including its Chicken Sandwich and original Southern biscuits and gravy.

Signs have been placed in the windows of the new restaurant, which will be based on Lord Street in the city centre. The site was formerly an EE shop.
According to the Popeyes website, the Liverpool restaurant is “coming soon y’all”. A note on the site says: “We’re Popeyes, home of the famous Louisiana Chicken Sandwich. A freshly made crispy wonder that was SO damn delicious we sold out across America - traffic stopped. Queues formed. It broke the internet!”
The website also gives people the chance to sign up for updates about the restaurant and to be in with a chance of being invited to the restaurant’s opening - and be “one of the first to try the legendary Chicken Sandwich”.
Popeyes Liverpool does not yet have an opening date. More details are expected to follow soon.
