Popeyes announces opening date for brand new Croydon branch

Popeyes have revealed the opening date for their new Croydon branch. It will be the chain's 14th London location, and their 6th opening for dine-in.

The Croydon branch is set to open on October 12, marking the 15th opening in 2023 and the 32nd since Popeyes arrived in the UK in 2021. Best known for their chicken sandwich, Popeyes prides itself on marinating chicken for 12 hours and combining it with American classics.

Bringing the spirit of New Orleans to Croydon, Popeyes will be rolling out the orange carpet on launch day. They'll have a Mardi Gras-style band playing The Brass Funkeys as the first customers come through the doors, and the first three customers will receive free chicken sandwiches for a year.

On top of that, the first 25 customers will get a free chicken sandwich and Popeyes merchandise. At recent openings, customers have queued for up to 18 and a half hours to savour the chicken.

Earlier this week, the opening of the Barrhead location saw customers queuing from 4.30pm the day before - Popeyes anticipates similar scenes in Croydon. Tom Crowley, CEO at Popeyes UK, said: “We are thrilled to announce that a new Popeyes restaurant will be opening in Croydon next month.

"A hub filled with unique identity, Croydon has been a key location for us since we first landed in the UK, and we’re looking forward to bringing the spirit of New Orleans to the borough. Our most recent openings have been some of the most successful to date, not just in the UK but for Popeyes globally, and we expect that Croydon will be equally as popular.”

You can find Popeyes Croydon at 43 George St, Croydon CR0 1LB, with seating for up to 76 guests for dine-in, with an additional 24 seats available outside, and takeaway service for those on the go. You can also find Popeyes on Deliveroo.

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
