Facing high food prices and consumers tightening their budgets, Popeyes is offering three pieces of fried chicken for $5 nationwide. This move follows similar promotions by other fast-food chains like McDonald's, Dunkin', and Jimmy John's as they compete for consumer spending.
With U.S. food prices remaining elevated despite cooling inflation, Popeyes is the latest restaurant chain to jump on the value meal bandwagon in hopes of enticing cash-strapped Americans. Popeyes is now offering three pieces of fried chicken for five bucks at its restaurants nationwide, according to the chain, which operates 3,800 restaurants globally.
The move by Popeyes, owned since 2017 by Restaurant Brands International, is among a series of such promotions by quick-service restaurants competing for fewer discretionary dollars as people pull back from spending on restaurants. McDonald's recently extended its $5 meal deal first unveiled in June after the hamburger chain reported slower growth.Dunkin' in August debuted a $6 value meal, following Jimmy John's introducing a $10 value meal earlier in the month.
