Burger King’s parent company, Restaurant Brands International, has now bought Popeyes for $1.8 billion dollars! This means that KFC has some real competition coming its way. As of now, KFC has 18,000-plus stores worldwide, compared to Popeye’s 2,600. With the now big collab, KFC’s Colonel Sanders just might need to keep a close eye.
Social media exploded upon finding out the news. One Twitter user tweeted,
Burger King bought Popeyes? LET THEM CHANGE ONE DANG RECIPE AND IMMA SNAP
It seems as though peoples main concern is the menu being changed. Popeyes does have a wonderful menu, I cant even lie! If any recipes change I would be devastated.
We hope that Burger King and Tim Horton's understand that the people *will know* if there is a single modification to that Popeyes recipe. pic.twitter.com/TBmsMyc7Eq
