The new Popeyes drive-through opening on Bury New Road this week is to bring about 100 new jobs for local people.

According to the Popeyes media officer, Georgie Ross, “everybody’s really excited” due to the employment opportunities the new drive-through will bring.

They have located their first Greater Manchester drive-through in Salford which will open on Friday April 26 (just three days from now) on 288-292 Bury New Road.

Ahead of the opening, Salford Now headed down to the press event to see what they were hoping to gain from locating their new drive-through store in Salford and what local residents had to look forward to.

We tried one of everything on the menu and everything was just delicious!

They chose this venue on Bury New Road as it allows them “to provide their chicken to people in the Salford area and makes it much more accessible for people who aren’t always in the city centre.”

They see this as a “great opportunity” for themselves too as the new location is considered to be a high traffic area.

We also spoke to Georgie about the general running of the store and how the store is hoping to help the local residents of Salford.

They have so far had great feedback with people being “really excited” for the arrival and they have made a statement with the bright colours and freshness of the stores overall look. “We wanted to bring that New Orleans hospitality to the area for everyone to enjoy.”

They hope their seventh drive through opening in the UK will be a big success.
