Famous fried chicken chain Popeyes is making its debut in a Scottish shopping centre, with a new restaurant set to open at Glasgow’s Braehead Shopping Centre. This marks an exciting milestone as the American brand continues its rapid expansion across the UK.

A New Dining Experience for Braehead Visitors

The Braehead location will accommodate up to 74 diners and serve Popeyes’ signature dishes, including its iconic chicken sandwiches, crispy wings, tenders, and the southern classic, biscuits with gravy. Known for its Louisiana-inspired flavours, Popeyes is expected to attract both dedicated fans and curious newcomers.

Part of a Growing UK Presence

This will be Popeyes’ 65th restaurant in the UK and the fourth to open in Scotland, reflecting the brand’s ambitious expansion strategy. The addition further underscores Braehead Shopping Centre’s commitment to enhancing its dining options and appealing to a broader customer base, including younger visitors.

A Boost for Braehead’s Offerings

Rob Jewell, Managing Director at Pradera Lateral, the scheme’s asset manager, commented:
“We continually seek to offer customers the best dining and retail experiences, and Popeyes’ unique range will undoubtedly be a popular addition to our already extensive offering. With Braehead being the first Scottish shopping centre to house this iconic brand, it will provide visitors with an opportunity to try a new and highly anticipated eatery, ultimately enhancing their overall experience at the centre.”

A Recipe for Success

The arrival of Popeyes at Braehead Shopping Centre adds a fresh, vibrant option to its dining portfolio, promising to draw more visitors while contributing to the centre’s reputation as a leading retail and leisure destination. Whether it’s a quick bite or a sit-down meal, Popeyes is poised to bring the bold flavours of the Deep South to Scottish shoppers.
