“It’s really what differentiates us from a lot of just QSR as a category – the quality of food and ingredients you’re getting in our restaurants.” We like to say that our product is cooked slow and served fast so you’re able to get what feels like southern home cooking in more of a QSR space,” he explained. All of our products are marinaded for at least 12 hours. I think one of the things we take a ton of pride in is the fact that most of our products are hand-battered, and breaded in our restaurants, featuring Louisiana marinades. “I think one of the things that makes Popeyes unique and special and really loved by customers is the food and the food quality in particular. Manuel said chicken QSR (quick service restaurant) is a busy category. And certainly that’s our focus going forward,” he said. So we’re starting to see a lot more of those coming down the pipeline. They currently represent over 50 per cent of our new units. But we’re starting to do a lot more of the kind of larger free-standing drive thrus. If you look at our historical footprint in Canada we’ve had a lot more inline restaurants. “A Popeyes’ prototype restaurant is around 2,200 square feet, ideally with a drive thru.

In Canada, Manuel said the company’s footprint is evolving over time. And it'll probably taste better than Subway's version of it.Popeyes’ overall current store count is 3,577 and they’re found in 37 different countries. What seems to have happened instead is, most of us have figured out a sub from any place can be healthier than traditional fast food if you're paying attention to what you put on the sub. You'd think by now, the chain would have figured that out. Tuna fish that may not be 100% tuna, chicken that is only 50% chicken, and bread with lots of sugar doesn't live up to that promise. We'll make you a fresh sandwich, which can and is a healthier food choice if you're paying attention to what you order and what you put on your sandwich. What's lost in all this is the simple promise Subway made to their customers. And now their all new menu with twelve new subs. Subway's spent the past two years trying to get customers back with their 'Eat Fresh, Refresh' campaign. Aside from the public relations nightmare that turned out to be based on the customer's character, perhaps hanging their success on health wasn't a good move. Subway built their empire on a customer who managed to lose a lot of weight by eating their sandwiches, which regardless of how healthy or not they are, isn't all that surprising if you limit portions, load up on the veggies, and eat a lot less deep fried crap. Or how concerned Subway really is with the quality of their food or how concerned they are about the quality of food their customers are putting into their body. I don't know about you, but yeah, most of these lawsuits, aside from their foot long only being 11 inches long, make we wonder how fresh Subway's sandiches are. They fixed this as part of a lawsuit settlement according to Fortune. This doesn't get into the whole lawsuit thing about Subway's foot long sandwiches being only 11 inches in legnth. In this case Subway sued the Canadian Broadcasting Company and lost. Back in 2017 the Canadian Broadcasting Company reported that their Oven Roasted Chicken Sandwich patty, and the chicken used in their Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Strip was about half chicken or less.

Oh, and we haven't talked about the chicken. You can read more about that in the Guardian. The sugar content makes it a confectionary. In 2020 an Irish Court ruled that the bread used on the chain's sandwiches contains too much sugar to be classified as bread in Ireland. This isn't the first time Subway's gotten in hot water with the court over its food. “Although it is possible that Subway’s explanations are the correct ones, it is also possible that these allegations refer to ingredients that a reasonable consumer would not reasonably expect to find in a tuna product.'
