Popeyes opens first Norfolk restaurant at Broadland Business Park

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 11:02 · Archive

Popeyes is constructing its first Norfolk restaurant at Broadland Business Park in Postwick near Norwich.

Construction is well under way on Popeyes' first Norfolk restaurant at Broadland Gate Business Park in Postwick near Norwich. The American fried chicken chain's new eatery is approaching completion, with the signature orange and turquoise colour scheme already visible. The site is surrounded by construction vehicles and workers, with a drive-thru being developed alongside a new M&S Food Hall. Planning approval for both sites was granted in February 2025.

Popeyes is also expected to open a store in King's Lynn and is currently recruiting for a general manager. The expansion comes after confusion caused by a bogus job advert that claimed Popeyes was planning a Norwich location on St Benedict's Street. Popeyes confirmed the advert was illegitimate and said they had no plans for a city centre Norwich restaurant, prompting the company to launch a formal investigation into the false listing.
