Marketing in the News: Popeyes Chicken Sandwich “The Battle of the Chicken Sandwich” Marketing in the News: Popeyes Chicken Sandwich “The Battle of the Chicken Sandwich” Presented By: Jordan Burg Jessie He Britne Peterson BUAD 307 The Birth of the Golden Sandwich ● Restaurant Brands International, the parent company of Popeyes,Burger King and Tim Hortons, noticed a trend in an increase of boneless chicken sales which included their tenders. ● In August 2019, they decided to introduce a chicken sandwich of their own made of a fried chicken filet, pickles and mayo on a toasted brioche bun. Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/popeyes-chicken-sandwich-rise-and-fall-story-2019-8 "The chicken was incomparably crispy, juicy, and fresh, and all the elements of the sandwich were well balanced," Jiang wrote. "Each bite was bursting with flavor. And its price tag is also the most appealing — at $4, it's the cheapest sandwich in the lineup." - Jiang (Business Insider) Twitter Wars: Chick-fil-A vs. Popeyes “...y’all good?”- @PopeyesChicken (Twitter) ● “Marketing power of memes” -The Takeout ● #chickensandwichwars Social Media Marketing ● “Apex Marketing Group estimated Wednesday that Popeyes reaped $65 million in equivalent media value as a result of the Chicken Sandwich Wars.” -Micheline Maynard, Forbes ● The firm, based outside Detroit, defines that as the price a company would have to pay to purchase the attention it received for free. Apex takes into account television, radio, online and print news reports, as well as social media mentions. The evaluation was conducted from Aug. 12, when the sandwich went on sale nationally, through Tuesday evening, yielding 15 days’ worth of data. ● The $65 million figure is nearly triple the $23 million in media value that the sandwich generated in its first few days on sale, according to an earlier Apex estimate.

  • Agenda Item 7
    Item Number: AGENDA ITEM 7 TO: CITY COUNCIL Submitted By: Douglas D. Dumhart FROM: CITY MANAGER Community Development Director Meeting Date: Subject: Conceptual Review of a Proposal for the July 19, 2011 Development of a Chase Bank at 5962 La Palma Avenue RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council conceptually approve a proposal for the development of a Chase Bank at 5962 La Palma Avenue and direct staff to draft a Zoning Code Text Amendment and Development Agreement for further consideration. SUMMARY: The City has received a letter from Studley, the real estate brokerage firm representing the property owner at 5962 La Palma Avenue, requesting that the City consider the development of a JP Morgan Chase Bank on their property. The letter is provided as Attachment 1 to this report. The site is located at the southwest corner of Valley View Street and La Palma Avenue and has been vacant for over 10 years. Late last year, the subject parcel was rezoned from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Planned Neighborhood Development (PND) land use designation, which prohibits financial institutions and banks. The Broker has stated that they have exhausted attempts to find end users for his client’s property that are consistent with the goals of the new PND Zone and that meet the needs of his client. They have a ground lease offer from Chase to develop a free-standing bank. The financial institution use alone does not meet the requirements in the PND Zoning District to develop the commercial corner with retail uses that are lacking in the community.

  • Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits Launches Search
    Contacts: Melissa Libby, Melissa Libby & Associates [email protected] 404-816-3068 Kim Englehardt, Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits [email protected] 404-459-4660 POPEYES® CHICKEN & BISCUITS LAUNCHES SEARCH FOR “TEAM CANADA” Significant Expansion Targeted for 2003 ATLANTA, Jan. 20, 2003 -- After a record-breaking franchising year in 2002, Popeyes® Chicken & Biscuits, a division of AFC Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFCE), is hoping to continue the momentum with a focus on Canada. Plans to recruit “Team Canada,” an all-star group of experienced multi-unit restaurateurs, will be announced at the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Conference in Whistler, Canada held Jan. 19 - 21. Popeyes plans to award exclusive territory development areas to franchisees throughout the country by the end of 2003. “With Popeyes’ Acadian roots, you could say the brand is ‘coming home’ to this part of the world,” said Russ Sumrall, vice president of international development for Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits. “We will be selecting the multi-unit restaurateurs who represent the best of the best to bring our flavorful chicken and Louisiana dishes to Canada.” Olive Hospitality Inc. signed an agreement to develop 30 new restaurant locations exclusively in the greater Vancouver area. Popeyes has recently opened two restaurants in the Vancouver area. There are 15 restaurants currently open in the greater Toronto area, but that area is still available to be further developed as an exclusive development territory. Canadian multi-unit operators interested in Popeyes’ Team Canada can contact Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits for more information. This is not an offer to sell a franchise. Complete information about this opportunity is available in the Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits franchise disclosure document.

WHAT HAPPENED In April 1991, 1718 ~ 2018 Al Copeland filed for bankruptcy and lost his Popeyes chicken 300 chain. TRICENTENNIAL THE AL COPELAND FOUNDATION PHOTOS Al Copeland was considered over the top in a city that embraces extravagant behavior. Locally, Copeland was known as much for his speedboat races, sports cars, Christmas light displays and multiple wed- dings and divorces as he was for his fried chicken. Copeland dropped out of school at 16, and in 1971, he opened a fried chicken restaurant, Chicken on the Run, in Arabi. The restaurant was a failure. Copeland modified the recipe, adding red pepper and other spices to the chicken, renamed the restaurant Popeyes, and the chain took off. Pop- eyes became the third most popular chicken restaurant in the country. But Copeland took on too much when he bought Straya, on St. out Church’s Chicken. The move eventually put Copeland Charles Avenue, sparked a war into bankruptcy. Although Copeland retained the recipe to between Al Copeland and author Al Copeland had the chicken, he lost Popeyes to creditors in 1992. Anne Rice.
