EA new milestone for Popeyes in Europe: In the latest Financial Times ranking, „FT1000: Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies 2026“ Popeyes has secured an impressive 2nd place. This recognition underscores the brand’s dynamic development within the European food and beverage sector and validates our consistent expansion strategy. We are particularly proud of this achievement, which is, above all, a visible testament to the outstanding work of our entire team.

Since its market entry in 2021, the brand has evolved in record time into one of the most dynamic players in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) sector. The fact that this expansion is built on a solid foundation is further evidenced by our key performance indicators: An annual turnover of over € 300 mio in 2026 and 5,000 dedicated employees clearly demonstrate the pace at which Popeyes has solidified its presence.

Securing 2nd place in the FT1000 2026 ranking is a powerful signal for the future and confirms that our ambitious growth strategy is delivering results. At the same time, we see this award as a motivation to consistently follow our path and continue writing the Popeyes success story together.
