Popeyes® Chicken & Biscuits, a division of AFC
Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFCE), today announced the opening of its first restaurant in Chattanooga on April
24, 2001. Popeyes plans to eventually open up to eight restaurants in the Chattanooga area to serve guests its
delicious Cajun-style food and atmosphere. Each of the restaurants will employ approximately 35 Chattanooga
residents.

The restaurant, located at 3352 Broad Street, is the first of three company-owned Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits
restaurants that are planned in the next year and a half. The restaurant will be open Sunday – Thursday, 10 a.m. until
10 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. In addition to its great Cajun-style food, the new Broad
Street restaurant features Popeyes’ new Heritage design. The building is reminiscent of the architecture found in the
historic French Quarter of New Orleans, Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits’ birthplace.
