Popeyes Opens Restaurant With New Design in New Orleans on Canal Street | Eater New Orleans

"Reopened on March 28 after a brightly colored, tech-heavy renovation, the downtown New Orleans Popeyes at 621 Canal Street on the corner of Canal and Exchange Place serves as the company's touted 'flagship.' I noted the new digital-centric redesign emphasizes self-order kiosks, order-ready boards, and dedicated areas for digital order pickup, and introduces a color scheme of 'Popeyes orange' and 'NOLA teal.' The restaurant, which opened in the 1970s, sits on the CBD edge of the French Quarter as the downriver entrance to the neighborhood; while it is one of the city's earliest and centrally located sites, it's not actually the very first local location. Executives and local managers held a ribbon-cutting accompanied by a brass band at the reopening. The chain continues to lean into its New Orleans roots while promoting menu staples like Bonafide Chicken, Handcrafted Tenders, seafood options, red beans and rice, and buttermilk biscuits." - Clair Lorell
