Popeyes, the American multinational chain of fried chicken fast-food restaurants has over 3,102 restaurants located in more than 40 states in America and in 30 countries worldwide. It is the second-largest chicken selling chain after KFC. They are popular for their catchy jingles and ads, but even more so for their Cajun-style chicken.
Also, in case you were wondering, Popeyes isn't named after the spinach-eating cartoon character, but after Detective Popeye Doyle of the French Connection.
This is the Story of a young entrepreneur Al Copeland who started Popeyes when he was 28 years old. For about 10 years, he worked and gained experience after which his entrepreneurial spirit kicked in, and he decided to try his hand at running a fast-food business which worked out really well for him.
Many people don't know today that 'Chicken on the run' didn't sell the spicy fried chicken that Popeyes is famous for today. Instead, Al initially sold chicken based on a traditional recipe, which unfortunately led to a huge failure in the beginning. There are many more things that he experimented with to reach a point where he is at right now with regard to the company.
In Addition to this, he was also into entertainment venues. He owned one of the best comedy clubs in America, The Improv, which has given us some seriously good entertainment throughout the years.
Each year for Christmas, he would buy gifts for 1000 needy children. As a school dropout himself, inspired by his childhood, he gave extensively to charities that set up schools in the state. He had become a legend in New Orleans, and the legacy he has left behind is unmatched.
His story is one of a kind and worth knowing about. So keep watching the above video to learn more!
