Popeyes has moved into second place among restaurants specializing in chicken dishes.
Fast food restaurant chain Popeyes has overtaken KFC in the number of establishments for the first time. Thanks to significant business growth recently, Popeyes has moved into second place among restaurants specializing in chicken dishes.
The leader continues to be the Chick-fil-A chain, which surpassed KFC’s number of restaurants in 2012. Meanwhile, KFC continues to lose ground in the U.S. market. Over the past year, the company’s segment share has fallen from 16% to 11%.
