Popeyes Fried Chicken Offers 59 Cents Deal At New Orleans Locations

Popeyes is celebrating its 50th anniversary by giving its customers a great deal nationwide, including in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Popeyes holds a special place in the hearts of New Orleans residents. It all started here.

The popular fried chicken restaurant began in the New Orleans suburb of Arabi, Louisiana on June 12, 1972. That’s when owner Alvin C. Copeland Sr., opened his “Chicken on the Run” eatery.

After months of unimpressive sales, Copeland renamed the restaurant “Popeyes” after Popeye Doyle of The French Connection and the eatery took off.

To qualify for the 59 cents deal, you have to order a $5 order minimum and it has to be a mobile order or done through the Popeyes app.
