Tim Hortons' parent company buying Popeye's restaurant chain

Maybe there is a chance that you can eat some Louisiana style fried chicken, butter milk biscuits, and order some Timbits in Canada.

Parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King is paying $1.8 billion cash to buy the Popeye's restaurant chain.

Tim Hortons' parent company buying Popeyes chain - NEWS 1130

OAKVILLE, ON. (NEWS 1130) – The parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King says it will pay US$1.8 billion cash to buy the Popeyes chain of chicken restaurants in a so-called friendly deal.

Restaurant Brands International is offering US$78.70 for each share of Popeyes, a 19.5 per cent premium to the stock’s close on Friday.

The proposed takeover requires various approvals and sufficient shareholder support but Restaurant Brands International expects the deal to close by early April. Restaurant Brands was formed three years ago when 3G Capital-backed Burger King bought Tim Hortons Inc. for $11 billion.

Restaurant Brands International has more than 20,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. Popeyes would add 2,600 restaurants in the United States and other countries including Canada.

“Popeyes is a powerful brand with a rich Louisiana heritage that resonates with guests around the world,” says Daniel Schwartz, RBI’s chief executive officer. “We look forward to taking an already very strong brand and accelerating its pace of growth and opening new restaurants in the US and around the world.”

The restaurant is best known for its Louisiana-style fried chicken and buttermilk biscuit.

In theory it's awesome.
But consider what Restaurant Brands did to Tim Hortons and chances are they'll fxxk up Popeyes too.








BOOOO!!!!!!

Been closed for years, it turned into a KFC.

All I remember about Popeye's was their jambalaya. It was decent, but it was pricey as heck for small portions.

I used to love Lee's country fried chicken until I went to one in Abbotsford before a Heat game. I bought a family pack for our little tailgate party and grabbed a juicy piece for myself. After peeling off the skins and eating it like a slob,I dove in to take my first bite. That's when I realized that the piece that I was eating was way past rotten.

Lee's proclaimed jihad on my guts that night.

The Lee's (renamed John's) in PoCo has always been good for me. I only get the crispy/spicy though.

Demographic that works at Tim Horton's. 'Nuff said. They aren't known to be quick or overly attentive to detail or quality.

At some busy Tim Horton's locations, there's like 8-9 people behind the counter and stuff comes out slow as molasses, so it's the training that I think that's lacking big time and the quality of staff being hired is just bad.

On average I have to wait 3-4 minutes after I paid for a steeped tea with two milk and 1 sugar. No, it's not a fresh batch being brewed either. It's supposed to be a 30 second process; dispense milk, dispense sugar, then pour in the tea and stir.

We need Mary Browns. They have one in Merritt and I had a chicken sandwich on a quick pit stop. It was so good.

With all that grease in your diet, your arteries are the only thing that's going to get hard on your body.

I like going to King Chicken during Happy Hour. $1 Leg(I get 5), batter is a litter different than others, but the chicken is so juicy and plump that I cant resist, and the value is too good.
