Popeyes looks set to open its first-ever restaurant in Stoke-on-Trent.

The popular fried chicken restaurant is advertising for a general manager and an assistant manager for a branch at Festival Park.

It has not been confirmed which unit Popeyes would be moving into but it comes after Five Guys also confirmed it was opening a restaurant at Festival Park.

We do know that there is building work taking place at the former Frankie & Benny's unit on Festival Way and the former Argos unit is empty. 

The Popeyes job advert says: "We're Popeyes UK – and we're here to bring the world's best fried chicken to the UK with bold flavour, big energy, and serious southern hospitality.

"We're growing fast, and we're looking for an Assistant General Manager who's ready to step up, lead with passion, and help us become the UK's most loved chicken brand."

The fast food chain doesn't give much away about the location of the branch but says it is located within the postcode covering Festival Park.
