“"Omg I can’t believe this .... I’m from Illinois and the Mississippi southern Louisiana and this is so right on flavor from the real Popeyes® from back home and they go above and beyond to make sure I get what I’m wanting exactly how I asked right down to the ice .... They are the first place I’ve been to in this state that reminds me of home true southern style taste and feels just like you're there at a family's place..."

More about the brand’s new identity!

During a time when many restaurants are having to make tough decisions to scale down and identify cost-saving changes, Popeyes® Louisiana Kitchen is launching an ambitious global expansion with a new brand identity. Imagine a clean, modern white exterior that is the canvas for joyful pops of color. You’ll notice a revised color palette, colorful decals, handwritten graffiti of the famous classic motto “Love That Chicken”, and a new chicken logo. In a release from Popeyes® shared with Fox New media back in June 2020 the brand shared “To further spread the product love to even more guests, it was time for Popeyes® to translate its Louisiana roots in a more modern approach by completely redesigning the brand’s visual identity and restaurant image”.

We are excited about the positive changes that have come with thoughtful purpose, and we are excited to see the new look come to life at our restaurants.

One thing you can count on is that with each bite you won’t miss that well-known Louisiana flavor!
