Popeyes Expansion

As part of a strategic growth plan, Popeyes is expanding their footprint across the U.S. and Canada. To ensure a consistent brand experience and meet the unique requirements of each site, they chose to team up with ms consultants for comprehensive architecture and engineering solutions.

ms consultants has partnered with Popeyes franchisees to deliver customized site development solutions that align with both the franchisee’s vision and the overarching brand standards. Balancing the franchisee’s desire for a unique location with Restaurant Brand International’s (RBI) commitment to a consistent brand experience across the portfolio presents a common challenge of any franchised location. ms consultants navigates this by working closely with both parties to develop site feasibility studies, conceptual site and building design, and construction drawings that meet the franchisee’s specific operating needs while adhering to brand guidelines.

Typical projects begin with site selection assistance and conceptual layouts to determine the specific site’s feasibility. After conceptual approvals from both the franchisee and corporate office, the project moves into the permitting drawing phase. Each project is adapted to the site and kitchens are tailored to the specific demands of the local market and needs of each franchisee. ms then provides architectural, site-civil, MEP, and structural plans.

During the construction phase, ms provides assistance to the franchisee and awarded contractor until project completion.

The new Popeyes restaurant in Lewis Center offers a modern and inviting atmosphere that appeals to a wide range of customers. The exterior features a striking combination of glass, wood and brick styled panels, creating a visually appealing and inviting façade.

Inside, the restaurant offers a comfortable and convenient dining experience. The spacious seating area features a variety of options, from bar stools to traditional tables and booths, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

To enhance customer convenience even further, the restaurant features a designated mobile order pick-up area and self-serve ordering kiosks. For those in a hurry, the dual-lane drive-thru provides efficient service and minimal wait times. These options allow customers to place their orders quickly and easily, whether they’re dining in, taking out, or staying in their vehicle.

The design also incorporates key elements of the Popeyes brand, such as the iconic chicken image and the familiar slogan “love that chicken.” This helps to reinforce the restaurant’s identity and create a strong brand association.
