In late July 2026, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen announced the opening of nine new restaurants across Poland, bringing its national footprint to 48 outlets. The rollout included the chain’s first location in Bydgoszcz and several drive‑through sites in Jawornik, Jędrzejów, Ostróda, Poznań (Komorniki), and two in Wrocław, as part of a broader Central‑Eastern European plan to add at least 70 restaurants by the end of the year. A few days later, Popeyes reiterated the same nine‑store expansion, confirming the total of 48 locations and adding details about a new drive‑through in Kraków’s Galeria Kazimierz, a second store in Łódź’s Manufaktura and recent openings in Kielce and Bydgoszcz. Marketing manager Kamila Węcka emphasized the “natural yet decisive pace” of growth and noted that the Polish network is moving closer to Slovak customers, hinting at possible future sites near the Slovak border. In early August 2026, the chain announced a flagship outlet in Warsaw’s G City Wars Sawa Junior complex. The two‑level restaurant will cover 560 m², seat 162 guests and be the first Popeyes in‑line street‑format venue in Poland, marking the tenth location in the capital and the largest Popeyes restaurant in the Central‑Eastern European region. On 6 August 2026, Popeyes opened its first restaurant in the Czech Republic, a 238‑square‑metre outlet in the Forum shopping centre in Liberec. Brand President Marko Blaževič, overseeing both the Czech Republic and Poland, called the Liberec site a key step in the regional expansion, reinforcing the goal of reaching at least 70 new Central‑Eastern European sites by the end of 2026. On 25 August 2026, Rex Concepts CEE announced a new dual-brand restaurant concept in Poland, housing both Burger King and Popeyes under a single roof. The first location opened on 28 August in Jawornik, situated along the Zakopianka route near Krakow. By 6 September 2026, operator RexConcepts CEE reached a milestone of managing 200 locations across Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania. Recent Polish developments include a new restaurant in Wrocław’s Korona Center, marking the brand’s fifth location in that city.
