Popeye’s Chicken opened in London this week and MTO News learned that thousands of Britons lined up for three hours just to get a taste of the US company.
And a quick look at the pictures shows that most of the people waiting to buy the chicken meal are black.

The company feels that the franchise has decided to use its traditional Louisiana menu.
Here are just a few reports from British food bloggers:
From its inception, Popeye’s Chicken was created as a restaurant catering to black people.
Popeyes capitalizes on the desire of African-Americans to feel at home. Founded by New Orleans businessman Al Copeland in 1972, Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits entered a field dominated by Kentucky Fried Chicken.
After a few setbacks, Copeland, who was white, realized he could make Popeyes’ success by making a deeper decision about what Colonel Sanders was offering. He named the flavor “Cajun,” and the heat of the chicken along with accompaniments like red beans and rice captivated many black diners.
