Popeyes opens its first restaurant in Cluj-Napoca, continuing with the expansion in the country initiated last year, making Cluj-Napoca the second city in Romania where Popeyes is expanding its presence in 2025. The official opening will take place today in the food court area of the Sigma Center shopping center in Cluj-Napoca. The Popeyes expansion is part of a more ambitious plan by the company to expand to more cities in Romania, according to Business Review.
Popeyes launched in Romania three years ago, currently having a total of 14 restaurants, including seven restaurants in Bucharest and one each in Pitesti, Craiova, Buzau, Ploiesti, Brasov, Constanța and Iasi. This year Popeyes continues its expansion outside the Capital, the vision being clear, namely the presence in every major city in Romania with the famous Louisiana Chicken. Popeyes is one of the most famous fast-food brands in the world, the international expansion being very rapid, so that currently the brand has 4,800 restaurants worldwide.
Popeyes’ expansion outside the Capital is part of a more ambitious plan by the company to expand in more areas and cities in Romania. The opening of the ninth Popeyes restaurant outside Bucharest is part of a comprehensive development plan for 2025 in Romania, so we are focusing all our efforts on our new restaurant in Cluj-Napoca. We are convinced that the residents here will appreciate the unique flavors of Louisiana chicken, as has already happened in Bucharest, Pitești, Craiova, Buzău, Ploiești, Brașov, Constanța and Iași, said Jakub Aleksandrowicz, Marketing Director for Popeyes Central and Eastern Europe.
Starting next week, residents of Cluj-Napoca will discover the juicy and crispy chicken from Popeyes, so that at the opening, everyone who crosses the restaurant’s threshold will be able to enjoy classic dishes, such as the famous Chicken Sandwich, Cajun Potatoes, Popeyes Chicken, Spicy Wings or Chicken Breast Strips, along with famous sauces, such as NOLA, Bayou Buffalo, Bold BBQ and Mardi Gras. Chicken products can be ordered in both spicy and non-spicy versions. In addition to the delicious products, on the opening day, participants will also have a series of contests and surprises, such as a live band that will bring the vibe of New Orleans, Louisiana, directly to Cluj-Napoca, all to get into the brand’s atmosphere as well as the wheel of fortune. Also, the first 100 people in line will receive free sandwiches, and the first three people in line will receive three vouchers for a free sandwich for one year, the second for three months and the third for one month.
