FORT PAYNE, Ala. — Citizens of Fort Payne and the surrounding areas are abuzz as a new Popeye’s location has opened in Alabama’s Mountain Town.

Located on Glenn Blvd SW, the new restaurant becomes one of the first Popeye’s locations across the nation to don the new logo and branding. 

Popeyes was founded by Alvin C. Copeland and has been around since 1972.  The Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen Chicken Sandwich became famous in 2019 and started a food war with their competition.
