Popeyes Reaches 19 Restaurants and Targets 80 Units<\/p>\n
Popeyes is accelerating its expansion in the Romanian market by opening two new restaurants in Suceava and Cluj-Napoca, strengthening its presence outside the capital. The American brand, currently operated by Rex Concepts, has reached a network of 19 units nationwide and is pursuing an ambitious development plan that envisions exceeding the threshold of 80 restaurants by 2033.<\/p>\n
Launched locally in the spring of 2022, Popeyes came under the management of Rex Concepts, expanding rapidly from the initial units in Bucharest to major urban centers. The current portfolio includes seven locations in Bucharest, two each in Ia\u0219i and Constan\u021ba, and one restaurant each in Pite\u0219ti, Craiova, Buz\u0103u, Ploie\u0219ti, Bra\u0219ov, Cluj-Napoca, Oradea, and Sibiu. Regarding the development timeline, there are inconsistencies in the data provided by sources: the launch is placed both four years ago and in 2022, and for the units in Oradea (Lotus Center) and Mega Mall Bucharest, the year 2025 is indicated as the inauguration date, despite the context of reporting current activity.<\/p>\n
The brand’s former operator, Sterling Cruise, currently manages approximately 40 restaurants under brands such as Salad Box, Taksim, and Pep & Pepper. Internationally, Popeyes, a chain founded in 1972 in New Orleans, has a network of 4,800 restaurants, being one of the fastest-growing players in the fast-food segment. Information regarding the exact locations of the new openings this month is to be officially communicated by company representatives.<\/p>\n
