Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
St. George branch of a Louisiana chain founded in 1972 by Al Copeland in Arabi, just outside New Orleans, and renamed Popeyes within a day of opening.
Cajun-seasoned fried chicken, the chicken sandwich and tenders are the format, and the seasoning is what separates it from the rest of the fried-chicken trade.
The wider picture
Al Copeland opened the restaurant in 1972 in Arabi, just outside New Orleans, as Chicken on the Run, and renamed it within a day when it did not take. The Cajun seasoning is the difference from the rest of the fried-chicken trade — the spice is in the marinade and the breading rather than added at the end. Louisiana Creole and Cajun cooking are related but distinct traditions, the former urban and the latter rural.
