The New Orleans‑born fried chicken chain, which drew 18‑hour queues when it opened in Swansea city centre last month, will hand out 100 free Chicken Sandwiches at every UK restaurant and drive‑thru between 10am and 12pm on Tuesday 25 November.
The giveaway coincides with the launch of Popeyes’ latest site at London Bridge, but the celebrations will be felt across the country – including Swansea, where the brand opened in the former Topshop building on Oxford Street.
Week‑long deal for fans
For those who miss the giveaway, Popeyes is also offering a week‑long deal on its signature Chicken Sandwich, Fries and a Coca‑Cola® drink for just £5.99. The promotion runs from 24–30 November and can be redeemed nationwide through the Popeyes UK app.
Rapid growth since 2021
Since debuting in the UK in 2021, Popeyes has expanded from its first restaurant in Westfield Stratford to 100 locations in just four years. The company says it has created over 2,000 jobs in the past year alone, with a team expected to reach 3,500 employees by the end of 2025.
Queues around the block have become a hallmark of Popeyes openings, with Swansea’s launch proving no exception. Hundreds of fans lined Oxford Street overnight to be among the first through the doors, echoing scenes seen at other UK sites since the brand’s arrival.
CEO thanks fans
Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes UK & Ireland, said:
“Reaching our 100th restaurant is an incredible milestone, and it’s all thanks to our amazing fans across the UK. We can’t wait to thank customers past and present with these giveaways of our most beloved menu item, and give everyone the chance to enjoy a true taste of New Orleans. Here’s to the next 100!”
What happens next
Popeyes lovers in Swansea can head to the Oxford Street restaurant from 10am on Tuesday 25 November to be in with a chance of bagging one of the 100 free Chicken Sandwiches.
The £5.99 Chicken Sandwich, Fries and Coca‑Cola® drink offer will be available all week through the Popeyes UK app.
