Megan Thee Stallion Says She’s Building Her Own Location of This Popular Fried Chicken Chain

Megan Thee Stallion announced she’s building her own Popeyes store from scratch, and showcased an active construction site in a new video on social media.

On Tuesday (April 29), Meg hopped on Instagram wearing a yellow hard hat to announce she was constructing her own Popeyes location. In a video on social media, she wandered around her new store, which she admitted was “just bones” at the moment, but said it would be open in a few months. She also gave fans a preview of her new “Hottie Sauce” that will be available at her store, before taking some poses with an orange Megan Thee Stallion-themed fire extinguisher.

This isn’t the first time Meg has linked with the fast-food chain. In 2021, the Texas rapper joined forces with Popeyes to release her then limited edition “Hottie Sauce,” which combined cider vinegar, Aleppo pepper and honey. It was that partnership that inspired the restaurant to approve Megan to become a Popeyes owner.

“I’m appreciative of Popeyes commitment to empowering Black women and look forward to opening Popeyes Restaurants,” Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement at the time. “Teaming up with Popeyes is such a milestone in my journey and evolution as an entrepreneur. I’ve always been a fan of the Popeyes brand and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join the brand and help create the new Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce for their line-up.”

While there’s no official opening date at this point, Meg promised on Instagram her store will open this summer.

“This abt to be thee littest popeyes ever,” she promised.
