Popeyes will open 30 new branches in various locations across the UK.
The new stores will open this year and will mean the number of branches in the UK will nearly double.
The US chain has more than 4,000 branches worldwide and first opened in the UK in 2021.
The new locations will open in 11 different areas across Scotland, England and Wales.
