The US chain Popeyes is returning to South Korea on 16 December with an opening in the Gangnam District of Seoul.
Silla, the fishery and textile trading company have signed a deal with Restaurant Brands International that will see them operate the Popeyes brand in Korea.
“Chicken is one of the biggest growing categories of food in Korea’s quick service restaurant market,” said a spokesperson for Silla. “We are looking forward to offering Popeyes to customers who have been missing the brand.”
The new unit will open on Friday near Gangnam Station, Line 2 and it will be the first of three branches Silla plan to open by the end of 2022.
