Ilonggos, could we finally be getting a taste of that famous Louisiana-style fried chicken?
Rumors started swirling after ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฃ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐น๐ผ๐ถ๐น๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐๐โand naturally, the question on everyoneโs mind is: ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ป?
For those unfamiliar, ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ is the Louisiana-born fast-food chain known for its ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฝ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป, ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐, ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐, and Southern-inspired sides. The brand first arrived in the Philippines in 2022 through a master franchise agreement with ๐๐๐๐ฎ ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ.
Some of its popular picks include the ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป, ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต, ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต, ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ง๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ท๐๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐.
And this isnโt just a random franchise listing. Popeyes Philippines has officially opened its doors to franchise partnerships, with reported investments starting at around โฑ๐ฐ๐ฑ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ โฑ๐ฑ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, depending on the store format.
So, is an Iloilo branch happening?

But if the brand is actively looking for potential franchisees in Iloilo, it definitely makes the possibility a little more interesting.
For now, weโll just have to wait and see if Louisiana-style chicken is making its way to the City of Love. ๐โค๏ธ
