Popeyes has opened its 10th store in Shanghai, China, according to a press release.
The brand acquired the rights to operate and franchise in mainland China and Macau last March.
"We are excited to reach this key milestone in four months," Yongchen Lu, CEO of Tims China, said in the release. "Between our Popeyes and Tim Hortons stores, we now operate 919 stores across China. We have seen a strong demand from our customers for our innovative products from both brands, and we are confident that this demand has a lot of room to grow even further from here."
Popeyes plans to open 500 more stores in the next five years and 1,700 restaurants over the next decade.
