Fried Chicken lovers rejoice, Popeyes has finally announced the opening date of their 8th location in Metro Vancouver.

Unlike another fried chicken restaurant that has been teasing us with their opening, Popeyes is finalizing plans to open their latest location at the end of May.

The latest restaurant will be located on the border of Burnaby and New Westminster, at 7855 Kingsway. They currently have 8 other locations across Metro Vancouver.

The popular joint is best known for its crispy fried chicken and selection of savoury sides (including a cajun poutine, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, mac-and-cheese and onion rings).

They even have some seafood offerings on their menu, including popcorn shrimp, butterfly shrimp and cajun fish.
