The publication quoted Popeyes UK chief executive Tom Crowley as saying: “We are thrilled to announce that Popeyes will be opening in Scotland for the first time later this year.
“Opening restaurants in Scotland has been key for us since we first landed in the UK, and we’re looking forward to opening across the country, starting with a drive-through in Barrhead.
“Our recent openings have been some of the biggest to date, not just in the UK but for Popeyes globally and we are confident that our launch in Scotland will prove just as popular.”
